The IMS Drive is a pneumatic cutting robot built for main sewer work in pipes from 6 in to 16 in inside diameter, with entry depths up to 328 ft. Its slim 4.8 in outside diameter carriage enters lined 6 in pipe without trouble. Internal pressure monitoring and a pneumatic pressure bar deliver stability and traction, while the servo-pneumatic cutting arm stroke of roughly 7.9 in keeps the tool on target in changing diameters. The cutting arm rotates 440 degrees under electric drive for fast, repeatable reinstatements and deposit removal. An integrated color camera with LED and supplemental lighting gives the operator constant visual control, and the electric cable reel with boom deflection plus a detachable control box makes setup and teardown quick on any job site.
