Model MagCrawler -Subsea Inspection Technology

The MagCrawler™ provides access to areas that are restricted, dangerous or expensive to reach using divers, such as the splash zone and confined compartments.

The MagCrawler™ offers smart deployment and operation:

• Once the MagCrawler™ magnetically attaches to the inspection surface, the ROV releases it.
• Two rubber caterpillar tracks provide crawler traction and are easily maneuverable to steer the crawler over the inspection surface.
• Motorised mechanisms allow the probe to be deployed accurately over the weld to be inspected.

• A 360° rotational head allows flange welds to be inspected with full coverage of the weld and the heat-affected zone.
• Passive compliance holds the probe in contact with the inspection surface, ensuring the probe is aligned correctly with the inspection surface during operation.
• Dedicated control software follows simple weld paths.
• Positional adjustments can be made in both longitudinal and transverse directions, which allows full coverage of the area to be inspected.
• The MagCrawler™ captures high-quality ACFM® data with the fine motor controls and on-board, backlit cameras provide real-time visual feedback to verify that the stipulated scan criteria are being met.
