RIDGID, a part of Emerson’s professional tools portfolio, has introduced the SeeSnake Mini Pro Inspection Camera with TruSense Technology for pipe inspections and assessment. It is the latest reel in the RIDGID portfolio of inspection and drain cleaning tools.
The compact, rugged Mini Pro is designed to inspect up to 200-ft. of 1.5- to 8-in. pipe with its mid-flex push cable that can navigate hard 90-degree bends. Its innovative 25 mm digital self-leveling camera always keeps the in-pipe image upright and is shorter than the traditional 25 mm camera head.
“The industry-first digital capabilities of the Mini Pro take pipe inspection to a whole new level,” said Kelsey David, product manager, RIDGID for Emerson. “The smooth in-pipe images that remain upright at all times combine with enhanced in-pipe location and positioning capabilities to increase user confidence and improve pipe inspection efficiency.”
TruSense establishes a two-way datalink between the camera head and a TruSense enabled monitor. With TruSense, advanced sensors on the camera head convey information about the in-pipe environment, including the high-dynamic range (HDR) image sensor that offers bright, clear in-pipe imaging in difficult lighting conditions. The TiltSense Inclinometer measures the camera's angle and displays the degree of tilt on the monitor – giving professionals a useful indicator of the pitch of the camera in-pipe. Digital zoom and pan provide the ability to focus on a single point of interest for an understanding and view of what’s happening in-pipe.
