Slip Rings for Remote Video Inspection

Mercotac® brushless slip rings are instrumental in remote video inspection equipment as they provide continuous electrical connectivity between the rotating and stationary components of the inspection system.

Product features include:

• Superior Signal Strength
• Maintenance-free Operation
• High Reliability and Longevity
• High Speed Capability
• Multiple Signal Transmission
• Compact Size for Easy Integration

Leveraging the benefits of brushless slip rings, remote video inspection systems can achieve higher reliability, improved signal quality, reduced maintenance requirements, and enhanced performance in various operating conditions. Operators are able to inspect remotely in challenging environments while maintaining real-time video feedback.

Many common remote video Inspection uses:

• Pan-Tilt-Zoom Cameras (PTZ)
• Aerial Inspection Drones
• Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs)
• Borescopes and Endoscopes
• Robotic Arms
• Industrial Inspection Equipment
• Pipe & Sewer Crawlers

Many video inspection systems require a rotating electrical connection. For example, a cable reel is often used for feeding out the cable attached to the remote camera. The rotation of the cable reel requires a slip ring to connect the video signals from the camera to the stationary display.

Using Mercotac brushless slip rings in video inspection equipment ensures higher-quality video signals, free from signal degradation or distortion, resulting in improved image clarity and accuracy during remote video inspection.

Traditional brush slip rings, contain contacts that can degrade and wear over time, leading to poor image quality or signal distortion. This results in electrical noise which can impact the accuracy and reliability of remote video inspection.
