Design platform for this system was the RAUSCH KS150 camera system. The ScanCam rotates infinitely, due to its connection to a hub - equipped with needle bearings and integrated slip rings. Two laser diodes located in the camera head are used to detect the pipe contour. Reliable and stable transportation through the pipe is guaranteed by our two steerable crawlers, the L500 with its electric lifting arm, or the L150 with its manual height adjustment. The ScanCam is designed to perform conventional mainline inspection on its way out, and for pipe profiling on its way back. No dead runs! Instant 3-D graphic reports available through the software package – No Third Party Involved for data evaluation!

All digital RAUSCH systems can be retrofitted with this system.

Function:
When switching into Scan-mode, the camera head turns 90° towards the pipe wall, starts rotating and the crawler moves back on the selected speed. Two laser diodes (Safety Class II, less than 1 mW) located in the center axis of the camera objective detect pipe diameter, pipe deformation, obstruction, etc. Triangular calculation is the mathematical method used for distance measuring.

Obtainable accuracy ≤ 0.5%; system can be certified to meet Florida DOT Specs.
