Pearpoint flexitrax P550c vs Rausch: the simple comparison.
If you are considering flexitrax P550c, the closest Rausch route is CUBIX 300 with FW90 / FW135.
Quick answer: Pearpoint is particularly strong on portable control and field reporting. Rausch gives you very clearly defined Full HD crawler configurations, a published conventional crawler range up to 3000 mm and an FW135-based route into satellite inspection.
Pearpoint flexitrax P550c vs Rausch: side by side
| Feature | Pearpoint flexitrax P550c | Rausch |
|---|---|---|
| Published pipe positioning | P550c system materials advertise survey capability across 1.25–60 in pipes; exact capability depends on crawler/camera configuration | FW90: 100–600 mm; FW135: 135–1600 mm, up to 3000 mm with Lafette |
| Camera options | Straight-view, pan-and-tilt and pan-tilt-zoom options | KS60 HD / KS135 HD Full HD pan-and-tilt cameras with laser and locating options depending on configuration |
| Portable control / reporting | 12.1 in daylight display, Wi-Fi, custom reports, Dropbox/email, USB, HDMI and Ethernet | CUBIX 300 is the mobile Rausch control/reel route; reporting workflow depends on the selected Rausch configuration |
| Cable class | Configuration-dependent within the flexitrax platform | CUBIX 300: up to 300 m crawler cable |
| Future expansion | Modular Pearpoint ecosystem | FW135 forms the basis of M-Series satellite inspection |
Where Rausch has the advantage
- Clear crawler sizing: Rausch publishes the FW90 and FW135 ranges directly, making it straightforward to map pipe diameter to crawler configuration.
- Very large conventional pipe capability: FW135 + Lafette reaches up to 3000 mm.
- Full HD inspection options: KS60 HD and KS135 HD provide 1920 × 1080 inspection with Rausch-specific locating, laser and measurement options.
- Satellite upgrade path: FW135 can expand into the M-Series rather than remaining only a mainline crawler.
Which should you choose?
If a compact reporting-led field workflow is your main priority, Pearpoint P550c is strong. If you want a clearly defined Rausch crawler range with very large-pipe and satellite expansion, Rausch is the stronger platform to compare.
