Difference between two systems |
| |
Buho (Owl)
|
Linze (Lynx)
|
| Platforms |
A platform , with two cameras mounted in its
interior:
1 Infrared camera
2 Video camera
|
Two platforms :
1 Panoramic (front) platform with
- infrared camera
- video camera
2 Back or detail camera
- for hi-resolution photography.
|
| Aiming |
The system of aiming is manual, using
a Joystick |
The system of aiming can be manual or
automatic, based on availability of the support structure.
Main characteristics of the Linze is the automatic aiming, that allows
considerable increase in the speed of inspection and drastic reduction of
the cost. |
| Positioning System |
It consists of DGPS (GPS with differential correction, much more
precise than the conventional one).
The only possibility of positioning objects on a map is to give GPS
coordinates of the helicopter at the moment at which it flies over the
object you want positioned. |
It consists of a DGPS and a AHRS (inertial system that provides
knowledge of the instantaneous direction in space and inclination of
the helicopter).
With these two systems and by means of triangulation, it is possible to
determine the position of an object whatever area is surveyed with the
images and information in 3D (3 dimensions) with an error of less
than 2 meters.
|
| Distance Measurement |
Buho cannot measure distances |
Distances can be measured with an error
smaller than 2 meters |
|
Data processing
|
Data processing is not connected nor sequential. The
different sources of data (images visual, images TO GO, data GPS,
audio...) can be linked manually in the laboratory.
|
Data processing is connected and sequential, having a common time base
using a system that manages connected forms of information, in the
laboratory as well as in flight.
|
|
Navigation
|
It has a support system/ the Pathfinder navigation. This system
consists of a GIS (Geographic Information System) that can be used by the
visual inspector to survey the installation and the cartography
available of the surrounding to graphically indicate objects.
|
It has a system for navigation support Pathfinder, similar to the one
of the Buho.
|
| Application |
Based on the voltage levels Buho can be used for:
LV: Not recommended, being normally urban zone and not justifiable for
preventive/predictive maintenance.
MV: Only when the inspection does not require a higher detail. If
it does, usually not economically justified.
HV: Recommended, mainly when the inspection does not require great
aerial detail or you are not consolidated inspection like routine of maintenance. |
Based on the voltage levels of the OH lines, Linze can be used for:
LV: Not recommended, for the same reasons as Buho.
MV: Recommended. Linze was developed to be efficient in inspection of
MV lines.
HV: Recommended, mainly when the inspection requires great aerial
detail or when you are consolidating inspection with the conventional dual
systems.
|
| What sells SCYMA? |
The Buho was developed as a set of
commercially available equipment. Therefore it does not have too much
sense to sell the technology, only the service. |
The Linze is our own development (of Norcontrol), closed enough and
innovative, possible for selling service in addition to the
technology.
The sale is depending on development of after-sale structure. |
|
LINZE DOES NOT REPLACE BUHO, THEY ARE DIFFERENT PRODUCTS
For a given speed, the capability of Linze allows to
detect greater number of defects. Or the other way, for a pre-determined
objective of the inspection, Linze will be faster and therefore more
economic. This is even more emphasized for a more rigorous
inspections.
