3.1 Option push poles and pushing rods
The inspection push camera INVIZ big
usually can’t be operated within tubes
and pipes when not employing 1,5 meter
push poles with connector or endless
push rods stored on a reel.
The epoxy – fibre poles will allow the
operator to push the camera head to
most of the regions of interest of an indu-
strial device without opening it.
Even the poles and rods will provide
excellent handling advantage during the
inspection, a few precautions must be
observed to guarantee working safety and
keep the device / facillity undamaged.
Push poles and rods are hard-wearing, however will
not withstand any pushing or pulling force. The epoxy
fibre material will break when bended too much. The
allowed maximum bending depends on the design
(stiff , medium , soft ). Epoxy fibre poles are aging
rapidly through high temperatures, chemicals, sol- vents and frequent usage. The older they are, the
more they have to be exchanged by new material.
viZaar rejects any damage compensation in the descri-
bed case of damage. In case of doubt, please send in
the pushing-aid material for evaluation to the
viZaar service.
10mm stainless steel pole connecting clutches are
especially glued onto the fibre epxoxy material, and
can be pulled-off when mistreated or worn out. Pulled
off / damaged connectors or clutches will cause
tremendous trouble to the facility, when camera head
and other poles may left in a pipe after a 90° bend. Always check the pole connectors before employing
them to the camera. viZaar rejects any damage
compensation in the described case of damage.
In case of doubt, please send in the pushing-aid
material for evaluation to the viZaar service.
Always confirm when using the 10mm stainless steel
pole connectors, that the clutches are truly locked,
liked described in the below pictures. Open connectors
will cause the same impact as broken / defective connectors to the object of inspection.
Damaged epoxy – fibre material can cause heavy injury
to your hand, when the PE- outside coating is worn or
damaged!
When using endless push poles stored on a reel be
aware of unexpected force trying to unwind the reel
itself when just opening the reel-break. The rod will unwind itself in a fast and powerful way, causing injury
to people or damage to the facility!
Even without breaking, the employment of push poles
can disable you to retrieve the camera – head with the
poles from the inspected piping. viZaar rejects any
damage compensation in this case. Employing epoxy
fibre poles and rods is an issue of experience and training. In case of doubt, please ask viZaar for further
training or technical assistance. Never push the
probe / fibre epoxy pole into the pipe applying high
force, especially through 90° bends!
