The System Full Description

Compact, portable, and ruggedly designed, the Proteus™ system integrates seamlessly into field operations, featuring a robust robotic tractor equipped with a pan-and-tilt camera head, versatile cable reels, and an intuitive control unit.

The tractor is specially constructed for inspecting pipes ranging from 6" to 24" in diameter and can be expanded for larger diameters up to 40" with the optional crawler cradle. Its motorized elevator precisely positions the camera within pipes, ensuring optimal visibility and accurate diagnostics.

At the core of the system, the Proteus™ control unit offers superior operational control through twin ergonomic joysticks and a soft-touch keypad. The 10” XGA sunlight-readable display provides crystal-clear imaging even in challenging outdoor environments. Integrated ProPIPE+ and WinCan software streamline inspection processes by enabling immediate image and video capture, advanced report generation, and seamless data management through WiFi or USB connectivity.

Equipped with motorized or manually operated cable reels, including the ACR 500, RAP/RMP 300, and Light System Reel, the Proteus™ ExZ1 offers exceptional cable management solutions. The reels feature Kevlar-reinforced cables of up to 1,640 feet, with mechanisms designed to maintain smooth cable deployment and retrieval under varying conditions.

Two interchangeable explosion-proof camera heads are available, one featuring optical and digital zoom capabilities, continuous 360° rotation, and +/-135° pan, enabling comprehensive inspections. These camera heads are waterproof up to 1 bar, suitable for reliable operation in extreme environments, providing precise measurements of pipe diameters, defects, and objects.

Further enhancing versatility, the Proteus™ can be supplied with optional auxiliary lights with integrated backup cameras, carbide and diamond wheels for superior traction. An optional portable power pack ensures uninterrupted inspection capabilities in remote locations for up to five hours, significantly improving field productivity.
