Product Code: TBE-UVEyeLite
We have partnered with OFIL, the world leader of UV inspection instruments, to develop a low altitude UV Corona discharge detection solution. Used for the detection of early component failure or faulty manufacturing of conductors and insulators caused by the ionization of the air where the electrical field exceeds a critical value.
This effect is invisible to the human eye as it occurs in a very narrow spectrum band. The corona camera has very precise filters to allow this frequency to be detected and overlayed with a live image. The UV Eye Lite, is based around OFIL's DayCor Swift camera which is a compact sensitive UV detection camera. UV Eye Lite was designed to allow all the data streams and controls to be transmitted and controlled in real-time to the ground.
ROMeye Lite has been designed as an entry level solution specifically for the Power Utilities and Electrified Railway Industries to allow asset inspection where visibility on the ground is limited and or dangerous or the cost for traditional aerial inspection by helicopter is prohibitively expensive.

Background:
Localised airborne inspection of high voltage lines and substations in remote or harsh terrain and saves inspection time and labour by allowing a site wide inspection very rapidly through use of high sensitive tools. The ROMeye system has been developed for specific technical considerations such as:
The drone (UAV) aircraft is built from the best quality components and has become the preferred airframe for expensive payload such as feature films camera systems.The airframe can be configured to allow multiple levels of safety systems such as low altitude ballistic recovery parachute system, redundant control unit, dual power systems will full power battery fail over, etc. The DayCor ROMpact corona camera is mounted on a 3-axis gimbal is the lightest and most powerful gimbal in its class for aerial applications.
Thanks to ultra high-resolution encoder up to 0.005 degree and advanced motor control in combination with ultra accurate IMU sensor, it produces amazingly smooth footage on a new level of stability in even the most demanding situations.
Whilst the system comes with a real-time data link that allows the ground based operators to see real-time video, we also have a separate radio link to allow remote control of the corona camera whilst in flight.
