Rovver 100 - Rugged Robotic Crawlers

A compact yet powerful inspection tool, the ROVVER® 100 robotic crawler is valued around the world for its rugged versatility. The ROVVER 100 features a unique modular design and lighting for maximum adaptability. The system also provides full-directional viewing in 100mm (4 inch) or greater horizontal pipeline with its pan-and-tilt or forward-viewing video camera. Both cameras have remote adjustable focus for a clear view at all times. The ROVVER crawler features a remote pendant to control focus and lighting and to steer the crawler when obstacles, such as debris or offsets, are present.
