IPIDRO

Magnetic inspection crawler for hard-to-reach areas

The IPIDRO represents the next evolution in remote visual inspection for hard-to-access components. Compact, magnetic, and fully controlled via the VUnit, IPIDRO replaces traditional, labor-intensive methods that rely on push rods or rigid inspection tools.
Instead of struggling to reach inspection points in confined or high-temperature environments, you can now operate the inspection  crawler comfortably and safely from a distance.
This new level of freedom makes inspections faster, more predictable, and highly efficient. A true game changer for modern inspection workflows.

IPIDRO at a glance

  • Hard-anodized, heat-optimized aluminum housing with a diameter of just Ø 49 mm
  • Fixed front-view camera (DOV 0°) with wide-angle lens (FOV 145°) and uncompressed Full HD resolution (1920 × 1080p)
  • Magnetic wheels with reinforced polyurethane coating and differential steering for maximum traction on ferromagnetic surfaces. Reliable inspections even upside down.
  • Radial inspection of pipes from DN 300 and, thanks to a flexible connector, also suitable for navigating steep inclines.
  • Motorized remote focus, proven in the VUMAN videoscope. Adjustable from 20 mm to infinity for high-definition results at the push of a button.
  • Exceptionally bright thanks to four dimmable high-performance LEDs for maximum illumination and a light sensitivity of up to 0.003 lux.
  • With a constant travel speed of up to 3 m/min, the IPIDRO positions itself quickly and reliably at the inspection site.
  • Designed for operation in temperatures from -10° to +45 °C. Reliable even under the harshest conditions.
  • Fixed 20 m umbilical cable with meter markings weighing only 950 g in total.

Remote Visual Inspection – Reimagined

The IPIDRO by viZaar is a pioneering magnetic inspection crawler, setting new standards in remote visual inspection for pipelines and hard-to-access industrial areas. Engineered for reliable and safe operation within complex structures, the IPIDRO enables thorough non-destructive testing of internal conditions on ferromagnetic surfaces such as steel.

Typical applications include metallic industrial pipelines, heat exchangers, cooling lines, process pipes, HVAC air ducts, industrial boilers, and chimneys—any component built from steel or other ferromagnetic materials. Thanks to its compact design and exceptional maneuverability, the IPIDRO navigates effortlessly through narrow or restricted inspection zones, providing vital insights for maintenance, repair, and safety assessments.

The IPIDRO enables early detection of corrosion, leaks, deposits, and obstructions, supporting condition-based maintenance strategies. Its robust technology is purpose-built for the harsh environments found in chemical plants, oil and gas infrastructure, power generation, and utility sectors.

Exceptional Imaging

without compromise

Experience inspection at a new level: IPIDRO combines magnetic drive power with uncompressed Full HD resolution (1920 × 1080 px). The integrated wide-angle camera with a 145° field of view delivers detailed, authentic images, even in challenging lighting conditions. With a high sensitivity of 0.003 Lux, you’ll see clear results even in dark or obstructed areas. The motorized remote focus adjusts effortlessly from 20 mm to infinity, allowing you to capture perfectly crisp images at the push of a button. Ideal for precise analyses without any loss in quality.

Maximum maneuverability

Built for professional demands

The IPIDRO stands out with sensitive controls for inspection speeds up to 3 m/min. An integrated 20 m supply cable with meter marking adds an extra layer of safety and ease of use, giving you full control over crawler position and depth at all times. This makes inspections both predictable and secure. With a total weight of only 950 g including the supply cable, IPIDRO is the ideal tool for demanding inspection tasks. Lightweight, maneuverable and engineered for industrial excellence.

Crawler IPIDRO

Built on viZaar’s Full HD Platform

The IPIDRO is part of viZaar’s advanced Full HD inspection platform and is controlled—like all other modules—via the VUnit. The VUnit serves as the central interface for operation and documentation, featuring scroll wheels, joysticks, and direct selection keys for fast, intuitive control. Its modern Full HD display delivers pin-sharp visuals, while the user interface is deliberately placed outside the inspection image so every detail remains visible at all times.
This streamlined workflow and comprehensive documentation provide users with exceptional ease of use and efficiency. Together, IPIDRO and the VUnit set a new benchmark for industrial inspection performance, transforming the way visual inspections are conducted in today’s most demanding environments.

Secure Documentation and Data Management

Create complete inspection reports using integrated commenting functions and technical data overlays. The VUnit streamlines your documentation process with the IPIDRO for maximum efficiency and comfort. All images and videos are easy to analyze, organize, and present directly to an external monitor via HDMI. With uncompromised Full HD output, even advanced AI analytics and post-processing workflows are fully supported.

For complete data security and control, you can optionally lock internal memory or utilize a hardware-encrypted USB stick to protect sensitive inspection data from unauthorized access.

As part of the viZaar Full HD platform, and with the VUnit’s open interface for real-time collaboration, the IPIDRO takes remote visual inspection to the next level, delivering secure, professional results you can trust
