crawler.

In the field

Detectra is a remotely operated crawler that enters the blade at the root and drives up to 80 % of the blade length. It records the inside in 8K 360° video at 24 fps under its own light. Capture takes about 15 minutes per blade. Compatible with all major turbine manufacturers. CE-marked, with a 12-month warranty.


The Detectra crawler seen from the front quarter with its LED panels lit: four off-road wheels, a 360° camera on a mast and a forward navigation camera.

The eye

One pass records the whole inside.

The head is an Insta360 X5 recording 8K — 7680 × 3840 — at 24 fps, stitched on board and written to 250 GB of local storage. It captures the full sphere, so nothing has to be aimed at while the crawler is in the blade. The looking happens afterwards, from any angle, at your desk.

Questions

Frequently asked about Detectra.

How far into the blade does Detectra go?
Up to 80 % of the blade length from the root, on four-wheel electric drive at 0 to 3 m/s. It drives back to the root, or is pulled back on the cable.
How long does an internal blade inspection take with Detectra?
About 15 minutes of capture per blade, with the turbine stopped and the blade locked. Up to 12 blade inspections a day on one set of batteries. Review of the recordings takes about 3 hours per turbine today.
What does Detectra record?
8K 360° video (7680 × 3840) at 24 fps under its own light, stitched on board, with the distance from the root on every take. The full sphere is captured, so nothing has to be aimed at while the crawler is in the blade.
Does anyone have to enter the blade?
No. The operator stays at the root with a rugged tablet that joins the crawler’s own wireless link, 80 m rated and 100 m verified line of sight. No internet is needed inside the blade.
Which turbines is Detectra compatible with?
All major turbine manufacturers. Detectra enters through the root hatch as a technician would. It is CE-marked and comes with a 12-month warranty, software updates and remote support over a built-in VPN.
