Built Around the Professional Operator
RCA 5.0 creates a dedicated inspection workstation inside the vehicle rather than relying on a separate mobile control unit. An industrial PC with 15-inch touchscreen is combined with a 24-inch Full HD inspection monitor and two multifunction joysticks for crawler and camera operation.
Digital overlay technology allows measured values and inspection information to be displayed directly within the operating environment, while the electrically adjustable workstation supports comfortable operation during longer survey days.
Long-Reach Cable System for the Premium Platform
RCA 5.0 can be combined with the vehicle-integrated ELKA 600 HD cable drum for long-distance professional Full HD crawler inspection.
