a waterproof housing. Accessories for the cutter include
appropriate wheels and spacers for operation in 6” through
12” diameter pipe.

Standard Camera Assembly
Mounted on the front of the Mobile Cutter Body is the

The rear-facing camera pans and tilts with the cutting head
for observation and inspection of laterals being reinstated.
This camera has manual focus to accommodate varying pipe
sizes. The forward-facing camera allows forward viewing
while travelling along the pipe.

The gamepad controls all functions of the cutter.
D.
K2 Power Control Unit (PCU)
The K2 PCU interprets the user’s inputs via the gamepad
and provides power and control signals to the Currahee
Cutter’s three motors and two cameras. Gamepad inputs
for the air/water supply system are also read by the K2
PCU, which then transmits them to the Air/Water PCU.
E.
Air/Water Power Control Unit (PCU)
The Air/Water PCU provides power to the various pumps,
solenoid valves, etc., of the air/water supply system, based
on commands received from the K2 PCU. Multiple safety
features are incorporated into the system, including pressure
sensing, voltage detection, and an external enable/disable
(i.e., E-Stop) pushbutton. Front panel LEDs indicate the
air/water supply system status.
