Camera/sewer reinstatement and repair equipment by LMK Technologies, RS Technical Services, CUES, Aries Industries, Pipeline Renewal Technologies, Perma-Liner and Ratech Electronics.
LMK Technologies
LMK is the exclusive North American Distributor for Schwalm Rootic Systems. The Schwalm Robot is a cutter, grinder and mainline camera. It can be used to install LMK’s T-Liner, Shorty or Stubby main/lateral CIP Liners. The Schwalm On-Board Tilt Camera features include: self-cleaning lens; high resolution CCD camera; water-powered camera cleaning system; and powerful LED lighting. 815.433.1275, lmktechnologies.com
RS Technical Services
The Digital Tap Cutter Controller is a single conductor control module for operation of all industry standard tap cutters. Key features include: proportional three-axis pulse width modulation motor control; programmable current limits to protect motors; easy-to-understand on-screen status display of settings: motor voltage/currents and test modes and seven additional channels available for other robotic functions/control. 800.767.1974, rstechserv.com
CUES
CUES offers a full line of portable and truck-mounted grout rehabilitation systems. Truck-mounted grout rehabilitation systems are available for mainline joint sealing /lateral sealing and can be equipped with the latest CCTV equipment for television inspection. Applications include joint testing and sealing of mainline and lateral joints, manholes, junction boxes, large diameter pipes, or any other low pressure waterproofing application. All systems can be configured to run Urethane, Acrylimide and Acrylate grouts. Dry freight box (for export) and trailer-mounted systems are also available. Grout packers are available for mainline and lateral sealing. CUES also offers TV/Grout/Lateral Reinstatement Trucks as an all-in-one production unit that can complete TV inspection of mainlines, laterals (optional), joint sealing of mainlines or laterals, and lateral reinstatement (cutting). 800.327.7791, cuesinc.com
Aries Industries
Aries’ Pathfinder Pan & Tilt Zoom Camera is an ultra-light sensitive camera with a maintenance-free LED lighting system for illuminating pipelines from 6- to 36-inch diameters. The camera head rotates along two axes. Pan and tilt rotation allows over 285 degrees of viewing angle while spinning around the forks of the camera head. This allows viewing up laterals while inspecting upstream or downstream in a pipe. The other axis is axial rotation, parallel with the length of the pipe. Aries’ cameras are designed to rotate infinitely along this axis. Camera lighting system includes Light Emitting Diode (LED) lights; lifetime rated for 10,000 hours of use. 800.234.7205, ariesindustries.com
Pipeline Renewal Technologies
Delivering up to 1.9 hp cutting power, the new air-powered IST PC200 from Pipeline Renewal Technologies makes quick work of lateral reinstatement. For optimum range and precision, its cutting arm articulates on four axes, each proportionally controlled with encoder feedback to reach and remember any cutting position in 8- to 28-inch relined pipe. The system is built on CAN-Bus control architecture, which not only allows concurrent motion on all axes, but enables remote diagnostics; onboard temperature/pressure/humidity/pitch/roll sensing; easy accessorization; and swivel/zoom of the onboard camera. 866.936.8476, pipelinert.com
Perma-Liner
The DC 160 Cutter works with a cutting head that is driven by an air motor. The air motor is connected on the lifting arm, so the grinding motor can be raised up and down. The lifting arm is mounted on the rotating unit, operated by an electric motor (24V DC) and can rotate continuously. The air motor and lifting arm are supplied with air through a supply tube, which is mounted in the rear end of the cutter. All functions are controlled from the control panel on two joy sticks. 866.336.2568, perma-liner.com
Ratech Electronics
Ratech’s Color Pan n’ Tilt Camera is specifically designed for the internal inspection of storm and sanitary sewer lines with a minimum diameter of six inches. The camera is capable of providing a close-up view of the sewer pipe walls, services, cracks and joints by remotely tilting and panning the camera lens which is controlled by the operator in the studio control center. The camera can be used with most skid assemblies or camera transporters without any modification to either component. The image sensor is of a CCD type, capable of producing a superior low light sensitivity of 1.0 Lux and a horizontal resolution of 460 lines. Directional lighting for the camera is supplied by a field replaceable, high intensity, 24 white LED lighting module. 800.461.9200, ratech-electronics.com
