Gimbals for Aerial Inspections
Benefits of Camera System Inspections
- Gyro-stabilized camera system installed on a helicopter
- Evaluate equipment reliably and efficiently
- Ensure uninterrupted power
- Avoid costly failures and shutdowns
- Postpone previously scheduled maintenance of equipment found to be in good condition
- Verify new equipment installations to establish a baseline for future inspections
- Save more money – fly faster, collect data, analyse on the ground
- 40-60 Knots per hour (75 – 110 km/hour)
- 6 hour flight time per day (including refuelling and ferry flights)
- 445 to 670 kilometres per day
- Evaluate equipment reliably, efficiently, and without disruption to operations
- Ensure uninterrupted power
- Avoid costly failures and shutdowns
- Postpone previously scheduled maintenance of equipment found to be in good condition
Typical Specifications
Radiometric Infrared camera (8-14 μm wavelength)
- Detects “hot spots” – able to provide a temperature reading.
- Infrared faults are current dependent.
UV detection camera (240-280 nm wavelength)
- Capable of producing video images of the energy generated by the corona phenomena.
- Corona faults are voltage dependent.
- Solar-blind: visualize corona in full daytime.
HD Video camera (400-700 nm wavelength)
- Visual documentation of faults detected by the IR and/or UV cameras.
- Documentation of faults typically seen by the eye; missing signs, broken isolators, etc.
- Right-of-Way
Mega Pixel Photo camera (400-700 nm wavelength)
- Visual documentation of faults detected by the IR and/or UV cameras.
- Documentation of faults typically seen by the eye; missing signs, broken isolators, etc.
