The ADWEL Robotic Inspection Vehicle enables remote scanning of the stator core of large motors and generators with or without the rotor in place. Controlled from outside the stator bore, the ADWEL RIV provides easier and more efficient testing of stator lamination insulation when used with ADWEL’s EL CID.

The RIV can also carry other lightweight transducers for stator inspection such as slot wedge tightness probes (ADWEL WTD) and allows for visual inspection with ADWEL’s CCTV Camera System.

The RIV sticks to the stator core by magnets and advances orreverses at various speeds. A guidance system detects the edges of the stator teeth allowing the RIV to automatically follow a slot.

Features:

• Auto-stop setting ensures RIV stops at preset distance
• Control unit outside stator core connects via single multi-core cable for power and signals
• Can be configured for various slot widths
• Curvature adjustment for various core diameters
• Low height (30mm) allows rotor-in-place testing
• Magnetically self-supporting on steel surface
• Automatically detects the edges of the stator teeth to follow a straight line
• Side plates give additional guidance when wedges are recessed or when wedges and coils are removed
• Distance measurement via encoder wheel
