Crawlers - Import export

The CCU186 control unit for crawlers possesses a distinct advantage compared to existing products. In fact, all of the performances that are usually achieved with standard control units are now available in the crawler configura­tion. Automatic slow preheating, the progressive rise in voltage with each exposure, as well as a selection of set values are all included in the CCU186. As the CCU186 has been entirely fitted with industrial electronic components, it is perfectly suited to the often extreme conditions of automatic intra-tube control campaigns. GENERATORS All of the generators in the SITEX crawler range are automatically identified and controlled by the CCU186: the interchangeability is total and this can be instantly implemented on-site. Moreover, thanks to a conversion kit, these generators will operate in perfect sync with the SCU286 standard control unit.

Designed to fit into 6” pipelines and higher, the CP160CR constant potential X-Ray generator for crawlers is – in its category – the most powerful panoramic X-Ray tube head in the world for crawlers. The generator is making the cutting edge constant potential technology of the CPSERIES even more compact into a 9.9 kg – 120 mm diameter X-Ray tube head. The crawler unit is capable of penetrating up to 28 mm of steel in 10 minutes, which corresponds to just a 25 second exposure time for 6” standard pipeline welds.

ICM crawler generators are equipped with a completely removable control unit, which includes an LCD display and keypad. This pocket size Remote Control Unit – the CPRCU – provides the operator with the most user-friendly interface available for crawler tubes. As soon as the preheating is completed and the kVs and mAs are keyed in, the remote control unit will be disconnected and the crawler will be ‘ready to go’
