What is the Rausch ELKA 600?
ELKA 600 is a fully synchronised built-in camera cable drum designed specifically for Rausch CCTV inspection vehicles. It forms the vehicle-based operating platform for compatible mainline crawler systems.
How much camera cable can ELKA 600 carry?
ELKA 600 can be configured with up to 300 m of camera cable when used with the Rausch-Tab.
Which crawlers can be used with ELKA 600?
ELKA 600 can be configured around the FW90 or FW135 crawler platform. The correct crawler depends primarily on pipe diameter and the additional inspection capabilities required.
What pipe sizes can an ELKA 600 system inspect?
The FW90 configuration covers approximately DN100 to DN600. FW135 covers DN135 to DN1600 as standard, with suitable Lafette configurations extending capability up to DN3000.
What is the difference between Cubix 300 and ELKA 600?
Cubix 300 is a compact mobile electric cable drum that can also be installed into a vehicle. ELKA 600 is designed specifically as a permanent vehicle installation and includes equipment such as the telescopic swivel arm, chain winch, integrated monitor and work lighting.
Can ELKA 600 be used for lateral inspection?
Yes. When configured around the FW135 platform, the system can be expanded with the Rausch M-Series for satellite and lateral inspection.
Can ELKA 600 use PipeCommander?
Yes. PipeCommander can be integrated into the Rausch-Tab inspection workflow for CCTV survey recording, defect documentation, reporting and project management.
Can I arrange an ELKA 600 demonstration?
Yes. Tell Rausch UK the pipe diameters, inspection distances and type of crawler work you carry out. We can help specify the appropriate vehicle, ELKA, crawler, camera and software configuration and arrange a demonstration.
