Stormer - Model S3000 - Pipe Crawler
From Pipe Cameras - Pipe Inspection Robots
The STORMER S3000 Pipe Crawler is a portable all-in-one device for inspecting pipelines with diameters from 150 to 1000 mm (5.9'-40'). It is manufactured in England and features dependable, sturdy, highly adjustable design offering users ultimate inspection experience and true portability. As of today, it is one of the most sophisticated and efficient, yet easy-to-use and affordable devices in the market. The pipe inspection robot includes several modules that are easy to transport and assemble: pan-and-tilt camera, insertion cable, CCU, cable reel and crawler. Optional accessories are available on request.

The pan-and-tilt camera with continuous rotation is equipped with a 0.5 lux sensitive, high-definition CMOS chip (720x576 pixels) and provides high-quality well-rounded image of pipeline interior. It is protected by a scratchproof front window to prevent image impairment, which occurs from using cameras in multiple cycles of inspection in abrasive settings. The camera is completely waterproof and comes in a Stainless steel housing with Aluminum anodized finish, withstanding up to 5.5 bar pressure (55 meters in fresh water). Illumination is provided by 5thgeneration high-output LED lights with 5 levels of intensity and a domed lens, allowing for even distribution of light.
The tear and wear-resistant, multi-core, Kevlar braided insertion probe is designed to undergo multiple inspections in abrasive environments. It is coiled on a sturdy Stainless steel reel with an on-screen depth counter. The STORMER S3000 pipe inspection robot comes with a standard 200m (656') probe, but is available with 250m (820') probe.
The crawler features an extremely adjustable design that can be modified within seconds depending on the pipeline diameter or other inspection requirements. It has a front camera mount for inspecting pipes of narrow diameter, and a top camera mount for pipes of bigger diameters. It is a powerful 5 speed 15 Nm 4 wheel drive with chain transmission running on 48 V DC motor. Different diameter wheel sets can also be easily adjusted based on the inspection settings. Optional accessories include inclinometer that sends data on pipe gradient to OSD for display.
Inspection process is displayed on LED backlit 10.4” TFT flat panel monitor with 800x600 resolution housed in a portable, heavy-duty Pelican case (weight of the case – 13.5 kg). The system records images in MPEG2 format and utilizes software compatible with WinCan. The information can be saved to the hard drive or a USB memory stick that is easily connected to the unit on the main control panel. The system also allows for up to 6 pages of text input.
The STORMER S3000 pipe crawler uses 110v or 240v mains or 1KVA generator power inlet for power supply.
