NanoMag
NanoMag is a miniature magnetic crawler for remote visual inspection of confined spaces and hazardous environments on most ferrous metal surfaces.
Product overview
NanoMag is a compact magnetic inspection robot originally developed for remote visual inspection of the top and bottom of PWR nuclear reactors. Its small footprint provides access to restricted areas, while its lightweight construction allows operation on thin ferrous structures such as air handlers.
The crawler uses front- and rear-facing cameras to examine structures and maintain awareness of its surroundings. Variable-intensity lighting and remote focus support detailed visual evaluation, and a 360° pan-and-tilt camera provides full hemispherical viewing. Magnetic operation allows horizontal, vertical and upside-down travel on most ferrous metal surfaces.
Typical work includes structural integrity assessments of pipes, pressure vessels and HVAC ductwork in confined or hazardous locations. NanoMag is regularly deployed in nuclear applications and has been proven in radioactive environments, with additional uses in onshore oil and gas and petrochemical facilities. It can also be carried as a satellite vehicle on a larger or long-range crawler to reach distant inspection areas.
Key capabilities
Miniature crawler
The compact design enables access to small spaces that were previously unreachable.
Dual-camera viewing
Front- and rear-facing cameras support structural assessment and situational awareness.
Adjustable imaging
Built-in variable-intensity lighting and remote focus help evaluate small details.
Hemispherical coverage
A 360° pan-and-tilt camera provides full hemispherical viewing.
Multi-orientation travel
The crawler operates horizontally, vertically or upside down on most ferrous metal surfaces.
Lightweight construction
The lightweight vehicle can operate on thin ferrous materials such as air handlers.
Nuclear deployment
The system is proven in radioactive environments and regularly deployed for nuclear applications.
Satellite deployment
NanoMag can reach distant regions of interest as a satellite vehicle on a larger or long-range crawler.
