Description
BIKE
The BIKE platform is a magnetic wheeled robot capable of inspecting power plant facilities and multiple applications in the oil and gas industry, such as vessel or pipe inspection. BIKE can reach locations previously inaccessible to humans due to size constraints, temperature, immersion in liquids or safety reasons. It makes your inspections safer and more efficient.
- High mobility
- Ability to climb vertical walls, inside and outside pipe structures and pass over complex combinations of convex and concave step obstacles.
- Lightweight & Compact
- With a total weight of less than 10 kg it can be deployed through a 12” (300mm) man-way. Operation on outside pipe starts at 15″ pipes (400mm).
- Modular & Versatile
- Can be equipped with inspection technology such as NDT sensors, allowing the operator to use the equipment he already has.
Modules
The BIKE platform is an advanced robotic inspection & maintenance platform for hard-to-reach areas. Depending on the task it can be equipped with different modules to perform an inspection from a safe & remote location.
