Hibot SQUID
By Hibot
SQUID is a complete robotic inspection system for water tubes in industrial boilers.
SQUID is a complete robotic inspection system for water tubes in industrial boilers. HiBot describes three cooperating modules: a sensor robot, a reel for deployment and retrieval, and a pump supporting movement through water flow. Ultrasonic channels measure around the tube wall and produce wall-thickness maps. HiBox supports data alignment and reporting. The system is not a standalone sensor. The manufacturer lists field-confirmed tube diameters and access conditions for the installation. An inspection project should therefore first check tube geometry, access, water conditions and power supply. The listed value describes inspection distance inside the installation, rather than travel across a site.
