Kummert push cameras stand out due to their sleek design without any sharp edges resulting in a high pipe bend mobility, easy cleaning and the cameras not getting hooked when pulled back in the pipe.

Axial camera K-28

The small and light-weight K-28 can be pushed through several 87° bends easily.

K-28 is used in pipes with a diameter of 40mm and up. Three equal-white LEDs guarantee the optimal illumination of the pipe.

The 2.2 mm super wide angle lens is enclosed by epoxide resin and stainless steel. This material composition reduces tension on the panes and makes the K-28 more robust.

Axial camera K-35

K-35 has proven for more than a decade while constantly being enhanced.

K-35 can be used to survey pipes of DN50 and up. In combination with a centering sleeve, the camera‘s range of application is extended to diameters of DN70 and up, and in connection with a centering trolley to diameters of even DN100 and up.

With its flexible end piece the camera can be pushed through bends easily and the ball prevents the camera from getting hooked when pulled back in the pipe.

Axial camera K-50

Stainless steel and sapphire glass make K-50 a robust camera.

The self-leveling mechanism provides a constant upright image.

16 high brightness LEDs guarantee an optimal illumination of the pipe. When used with a centering sleeve, the camera is also well suited for inspecting pipe dimensions up to DN200.

Pan and tilt camera K-70

With the pan and tilt camera K-70 the nominal diameter can be detected at any time.

The well-proven pan and tilt camera is suitable for pipes of DN100 and up. It features an infinite pan range, a high tilt range of +/- 115° and 10 white high-power LEDs, which ensure the optimal illumination of the pipe‘s depth. The motor-driven focus and the brightness can be controlled manually. Using the automatic mode, brightness is adapted according to the lighting conditions. The camera is filled with air which creates an internal pressure of 1 bar. The basic device’s software surveys the pressure and displays any discrepancy.

The K-70 features two high-grade laser diodes for exact measurements of the pipe diameter or the width of cracks during inspection. Furthermore, it is equipped with a locating transmitter which allows the inspector to localize the camera at any time.

Branch negotiating camera CamFlex^®

CamFlex^® is THE camera for the inspection and measurement of complex pipe networks.

The always upright image guarantees the optimal orientation during inspection. The brightness is adapted according to the lighting conditions, thus ensuring an ideal illumination of the pipe. Of course, both brightness and focus can also be controlled manually.

Via joystick the camera can easily be bent from a straight position up to a 90° angle, ensuring that nearly all laterals from DN100 to DN200 can be moved into. Even 90° bends are smoothly navigated by the camera from DN125 and up. At specific positions the integrated sensors capture all data that is needed to create a three-dimensional pipe plan. Using Profi 3+ the operator can make a slope measurement, detect the dimension of laterals and measure the angle of bends and branches.

Reels

Reels do not only connect basic device and camera, they also ensure the needed push performance and flexibility. Each type of reel is perfectly adapted to one camera and its according range of pipe diameters.

Recommended camera-reel-combinations:

DN40 and up -> K-28 with fixed reel
DN50 and up -> K-35 with reel H-S
DN70 and up -> K-50 with reel H-M
DN100 and up -> K-70 with reel H-L
DN100 and up -> CamFlex^® with reel H-XL

Accurate to a centimeter

When the rod is moved, the reel registers the covered distance and it is displayed on the basic device’s screen. Via the software, the position can be set to zero or any desired value.

Well restraint

The applied reel lock prevents unwanted unreeling of the push rod. To release the lock pin, simply turn it and continue with the inspection, while the freewheel brake controls the rod‘s coasting speed.

Easy assembly

The reel is hooked onto the basic device and connected via a plug. Thus the reel can be removed or changed over without any effort..

Perfect match

Various types of reels are available. The rods differ in length and diameter in order to ensure the best possible push performance and flexibility for all fields of application. Except for the K-28, all cameras and reels are interchangeable.

Robust design

Depending on size and weight of the reel, the side plates are made out of sturdy ABS synthetic material or aluminum. A tubular protects the connected camera during transport and storage.

Transmission

The transmission of data is about to change from analog to digital. The latest Profi 3+ and CompactPlus devices are already equipped with the new digital technology. Of course existing devices can be upgraded.

COMING SOON

THE LATEST GENERATION OF REELS ARMS YOUR SYSTEM FOR NEW TECHNOLOGIES

Better durability

The side plates are made out of high-strength aluminum and therefore grant maximum durability and toughness for the entire reel.

Improved break

The freewheel brake for regulating the unwinding motion was thoroughly revised. It now features two ball bearings and a break lining which results in an extremely smooth and steady rotation of the reel.

Splash water protection

Inside the reel, different electronic components realize tasks like length measurement. In order to improve the protection of the components the sealing of the entire assembly was enhanced.

Digital transmission

Digital reels and basic devices are only the first steps on the way to an entirely digital inspection system. Future product generations, including HD cameras, will be as compatible as existing models.

When used with the centering sleeve, the K-50 camera is also well suited for inspecting pipe dimensions up to DN200.

Centering trolley K-70

The centering trolley is suited for the cameras K-70 in pipe diameters from DN150 to DN300. The 12 wheels ensure a steady push operation.They also elevate and, therefore, protect the camera in the pipe.

 

HR-70 locating transmitter

Using the locating transmitter and a separately supplied locator, a camera‘s position can easily be tracked during inspection. Positioning data are sent with a frequency of 512 Hz. The locating transmitter is mounted between the camera and the rod and can, therefore, enhance the connected camera's ability to navigate bends.

Accessories for crawler F-100

Wheel sets

Various sets of wheels are included in the scope of supply. Additional wheels can be purchased optionally.

Additional lighting

The crawler F-100 also comes with an additional lighting fixture to facilitate the inspection of pipe diameters from DN200 and up.
The mounted lighting fixture keeps the camera on the F-100 centered in the pipe during inspection. 6 equal-white LEDs provide for a perfect illumination of the pipe up to DN400.

Pulley

The pulley guides the cable around any edge and angle from the manhole into the pipe and helps protect the cable sheath from abrasion. Spring latches in each guide facilitate subsequent cable insertion, thus allowing for the crawler to remain connected to the cable drum and be lowered into the manhole before mounting the pulley.

Accessories for Profi 3+

Elevation platform

The elevation platform for the Profi 3+ comes standard with a comfortable tripod chair and allows - even on longer inspections - a comfortable working position.
 

can3D^®

With can3D^® projects are prepared and revised, rehabilitation measures can be planned and entire maps are designed. The customer receives a full set of reports as well as a complete 3D model of the sewerage system.

Preparatory work

Projects can not only be created and prepared on Profi 3+ but also in can3D®. Thus the operator can use the full time on site for inspection tasks. Imported maps and drawings again form the basis of each 3D project. If there’s not plan data available, manual drawings can be done or map sections can be downloaded from OpenStreetMap.org.

Manholes and drainage objects mark the beginning and end of pipes and sewer sections. Their position on the map can either be determined manually or measured. The entered designations will later be used for a correct naming of pipes and sewer sections.

Editing and post processing

Basic information and findings can be edited, deleted or completed. If subsequent text overlay was selected, changes will not only be implemented in the reports but also on the video image. Only during the final export texts are firmly inscribed in the video.

The 3D model of the drainage systems can also be revised. Thus errors made during the inspection like a wrong angle or position of a bend or branch can be corrected without much effort. Missing connections between pipes, sewer section, manholes and drainage object can be established with a few mouse clicks.

Rehabilitation measures

The findings made during the survey as well as the map are the ideal basis for planning a rehabilitation of the sewer system. The preset list is editable and can thus be adapted to the respective range of rehabilitation techniques. After selecting the desired measure, the exact position and length is entered.

A colored label including the description is displayed on the map and optionally on the reports. Together with displaying the according findings this plan is the ideal tool to communicate a complex rehabilitation project.
 

Documentation

The entered information and findings are automatically transferred into well-structured reports. With the help of an editor individual masters and designs can be created.

The contents and scope of documentation is determined with the help of an export wizard. Thus the operator has full control over the result that the customer will receive. Of course a free of charge viewer software is included.

Crawlers

Cable drums

With our crawlers pipes up to a dimension of 800 mm can be inspected. An integrated locating transmitter, slope measurement and tip protection are only a few of the fantastic features of F-100 and F-200. High picture quality and ideal illumination ensure convincing results.

F-100 - The small and compact crawler for pipes from 100 mm to 400 mm

With its various sets of wheels and a powerful additional lighting, F-100 is the ideal choice for the inspection of pipes from 100 mm to 400 mm.

Various camera functions

At any time during the inspection K-70 can measure the nominal diameter – no matter if it is mounted to F-100 or used as a push camera. Macros allow the inspector to quickly pan the camera to 90°, check a connection or align the camera.

Safe lowering

A moving cable arm facilitates for an easy lowering of the F-100 into the manhole without a lowering rope. The camera automatically tilts up, so the rear wheels hit ground in the manhole at first. Damage to the camera head during the lowering process can thus be avoided.

Drive and control

Two powerful EC motors ensure high performance. The speed settings can be adjusted to four different speed levels, and the built-in speed control keeps the desired speed.

Easy navigation of bends

F-100 and K-70 are connected via a spring joint. When the crawler enters a curvature, the camera head bends up to 35°. Afterwards the spring joint and therefore the camera straightens automatically.

Automatic roll-over protection

In order to keep the crawler from becoming tipped over, an internal sensor measures the slope of the lateral axis. As soon as a deviation is detected, the crawler is automatically being steered back, therefore, kept from rolling over.

Integrated locating transmitter

F-100 features an integrated locating transmitter that allows the operator to localized the crawler in the pipe at any time. The transmitter can be operated with a frequency of 512 Hz or 640 Hz.
 

F-200 - Flashlight for perfect illumination and crystal clear image

F-200 is suitable for pipe diameters of 200 mm up to 800 mm. A range of spacers and wheels ensures the best possible traction in all types of pipes. The lift arm always positions the camera centered.

Continuously adjustable lift arm

The camera does not have to be mounted – it is firmly connected to continuously adjustable lift arm. The pipe diameter is entered and the camera will automatically be centered in pipes from 200 mm to 800 mm diameter.

High image quality

16 high-power, equal-white LEDs flash continuously and offer sufficient illumination in any pipe, which supersedes additional lighting. The progressive recordings are of sharp quality, thus allowing for a still image to be created from the video.

Drive and control

The crawler F-200 stands out due to its rugged power-train and simple control system. Four powerful EC motors drive each wheel individually. The speed settings can be adjusted to four different speed levels, and the built-in speed control keeps the desired speed.

Continuous slope measurement

While inspecting the slope is continuously measured. The detected value is displayed at the camera control panel and optionally on the live image.

Integrated locating transmitter

An integrated locating transmitter ensures that the crawler can be localized in the pipe at any time. The transmitter can be operated with a frequency of 512 Hz or 640 Hz.

Cable drums

The cable drums can be used for mobile inspection but can also be mounted in an inspection vehicle. The operating panel allows an exact positioning of the crawler in the manhole and the spring lever arm regulates the unwinding and rewinding.

Automatic un- and rewinding

The cable is guided over a lever with a built-in sensor. The lever‘s height adjusts according to the cable tension and the sensor identifies whether cable is to be given or rewound, thus offering several benefits for a survey: The crawler drives forward more smoothly and easily as the cable is always being unwound at a constant rate. When the crawler stops, the unwinding process comes to an immediate halt as well.

Flexible cable guide

An innovative ring guide ensures that the cable can now be fed downwards in any direction, thus giving the user much more flexibility in selecting the operating position for the cable drum.

Integrated meter counter

When cable is unwound, the meter counter immediately takes precise measurements. The meter count can be reset to zero via can3D® at any time.

High-quality cable

The Kevlar^® reinforced cable ensures an extremely high tensile strength. Thus it is very durable and hard-wearing.

KR-200XS

The cable drum KR-200 is primarily made from anodized aluminum, which makes it extremely robust, yet still portable with its weight of 24 kg.

Due to its low weight the KD-200XS is easily portable and therefore the ideal equipment for mobile inspections. Of course it is also compatible with the lowering device and can thus be used in an inspection vehicle.

Control panel

Aside from the emergency switch and button for manually rewinding the cable, the control panel features a two-axis-joystick, which drives the crawler forwards or backwards and steers it.

KR-200/ KR-320

The control panel offers a large range of features like steering the crawler, adjusting the height of the lift arm and rewinding the cable. The functional range and position of the operating panel make KR-200 and KR-320 most suitable for the use in an inspection vehicle. Of course they can also be used for mobile inspection.

 Control panel

The crawler can be operated via the control panel of the cable drum. Aside from the emergency switch and buttons for resetting the meter count and manually rewinding the cable, the panel features additional noteworthy operating controls: A two-axis-joystick controls the crawler. The height of the lift arm can be continuously adjusted via a rocker switch. Last but not least, the display shows the current meter count, lift arm height or the need to mount a set of wheel spacers, depending on the current action.
