Current Rausch UK configurations use 60 m in Push HD2 and 150 m main cable with the FW90 Drive platform.

SAT42 self-levelling axial inspection starts from 50 mm. The KS60HD Full HD pan-and-tilt configuration starts from 100 mm; this is the pan-and-tilt/HD diameter used by this filter. Confirm the camera, cable and access for the job.

Side-by-side comparison

Compare the Rausch push-camera range

Start with the smallest pipe and access, then compare reach and camera control. Manufacturer-stated bend capability is useful guidance, but actual pipe condition and configuration still matter.

Choosing a Push Camera

What should you consider?

Start with the pipe diameter, inspection distance and the amount of camera control required.

What size pipe can a push camera inspect?

There is no single pipe diameter that suits every push camera. The usable range depends on the camera head, pushrod and accessories being used.

Compact minCord systems are designed for very small pipework and confined spaces, while the larger mC and Omicron platforms cover broader drainage and sewer inspection applications.

How far can a push camera be pushed?

Inspection distance depends on the pushrod length, diameter and the conditions inside the pipe. The Rausch range extends from compact 15 m systems through to platforms offering up to 130 m of pushrod.

Longer is not automatically better. For regular shorter inspections, a smaller and more portable reel may be easier to work with.

Do I need an axial or pan-and-tilt camera?

An axial camera provides a forward-facing view and is well suited to routine pipe inspection where you need to assess the general condition as the camera travels through the line.

Pan-and-tilt allows the camera to be rotated and angled towards joints, connections, defects and other areas requiring closer inspection.

What is a locating sonde on a drain camera?

A locating sonde is a transmitter that allows a compatible locator to help determine the position of the camera head from above ground.

This can help when tracing a pipeline, identifying where the camera has reached or locating a defect before further work is carried out. Sonde availability and frequencies vary by configuration.

Which Rausch push camera should I choose?

Start with three things: the pipe diameter, required inspection distance and whether you need axial or pan-and-tilt viewing.

The minCord systems cover compact small-diameter inspection. The mC30, mC50 and mC80 provide progressively different reel and pushrod platforms for axial work, while the mC360 range adds pan-and-tilt inspection.

Omicron Push is the advanced option where Full HD capability and the possibility of expanding into crawler inspection are required.
