MagRob is a remote-controlled, electrically driven vehicle with a system of permanent magnets producing the attraction force needed to move on ferromagnetic surfaces – such as ships’ hulls or industrial tanks. Usage of magnets, allows the vehicle to stay on the object even in the event of a power outage. Mounted lights, allows for work to be carried out in poor lighting conditions.
Removes damaged paint coatings with ultra-high pressure (UHP) water. Collected impurities are discharged into a vacuum container which allows for further utilization. In this way, work on the ship hulls over the waterline, can be done before the ship stops in dry dock. Two cameras – front and rear- continuously observe, record and archive performed work, and the classification system assess the condition of the surface after removing the damaged coatings. The vehicle is remotely controlled and positioning system allows to save the location of damage observed on the cleaned surface.
Standard equipment includes:
Surface power station
Operator's computer station
Tether on the slip ring spool
Radio controller to control
Side channel blower
Vacuum container
Retractable fall arrester devices to prevent falling from the object
Positioning system.
