Features
Motorized Driving and Steering
Variable drive speed and steering control.
Rugged
Designed to handle intense tasks and challenging environments (dust-tight, watertight).
Corrosion Mapping
Effortlessly perform corrosion mapping with a variety of automated raster arms.
Weld Scanning
Various probe holder frame configurations allow for carrying between 2 and 6 probes during weld inspection.
Modular
Increased capability with pod separation, multiple encoders, accessory mounts and a handheld controller.
Many Accessories
Enhance the NAVIC's capability with optional accessories: battery-powered optical guide, onboard camera, backpack, cable management, preamp and motorized couplant pump.
Magnetic Wheels
Magnetic wheels provide the foundation for scan operations on ferrous surfaces.
Low Profile Design
The NAVIC can circumnavigate pipes as small as 7 cm (2.75 in) OD while only requiring 7 cm (2.75 in) of radial clearance when low-profile scanning is needed.
Remote Control
Program scan and raster paths from up to 30 m (100 ft) away using the intuitive handheld remote control. The ergonomic handheld controller includes drive paths, variable speed control, and system diagnostics.
Battery Power
Order the NAVIC with the battery kit and avoid using heavy, cumbersome generators. These rechargeable batteries can power the NAVIC system and accessories for hours at a time.
Warranty
JIREH backs the NAVIC system with a limited 3-year warranty.
