Description
SCOUT 2.0 is a semi-automated system that keeps all of the advantages of the original SCOUT while significantly reducing pneumatic and hydraulic maintenance issues. SCOUT 2.0 further reduces the chance of human performance errors and increases productivity and safety.
SCOUT 2.0 utilizes an electric actuator to couple and uncouple the Control Element Assembly (CEA) from its extension shaft, replacing the existing pneumatic and hydraulic design. The tool is powered by off-the-shelf 12-volt batteries (or 120-volt power source) and operated with a user-friendly tool-mounted controller.
Customer Benefits
SCOUT 2.0 simplifies the tool design reducing the need for routine maintenance and integrates a simplified control console mounted on the tool.
