PIPESOLV K18
Cost-effective control-box crawler
Cost-effective control-box crawler for municipal and industrial pipelines - 5MP ultra-clear imaging, 100 m work distance, one-click screenshots and IP68 reliability.
The Economical Entry Point
The PIPESOLV K18 brings budget-friendly pipe inspection within reach: a 5MP ultra-clear crawler with 360° rotatable camera, 100 m work distance and IP68 sealing — engineered for routine municipal and industrial surveys at a cost that scales with a growing fleet.
5MP Ultra-Clear Imaging
The ultra-clear camera resolves wall cracks down to 0.5 mm, sediment thickness variations and early corrosion — with LED illumination for dark, deep-buried lines.
100 m Work Distance
Run long straight sections in a single pass: a dedicated control box with offline-capable operation covers up to 100 m, cutting setup and retrieval time on long-distance inspections.
360° Rotatable Camera
The camera adapts through bends, diameter transitions and complex pipe geometries, eliminating blind spots with adjustable angle control.
IP68 Reliability
Built for waterlogged, muddy, humid and dusty environments — the K18 keeps working where the working conditions are not clean.
Making pipeline inspection simpler and smarter.
Working the Line, End to End.
The PIPESOLV K18 through the pipe — drive, camera and control in the real world of sewer and drain inspection.
A Budget That Still Inspects Properly
Built to Be the Daily Worker
From the Field
Built for the pipes you actually work in.
The PIPESOLV K18 on the invert, at the manhole and under the surface — engineered from real field conditions, not brochures.
Built for the Pipes You Survey.
Four reasons the PIPESOLV K18 earns its place in the main — long reach, live 4K eyes, real climbing grip and a sealed chassis for wet lines.
5MP Ultra-Clear Imaging
Captures wall cracks, sediment thickness variations and corrosion spots with engineering-grade clarity - detects defects down to 0.5 mm.
100 m Work Distance
Runs up to 100 m in a single pass with the dedicated control box - real-time remote monitoring for long-distance inspections.
One-Click Screenshots & Recording
High-resolution screenshots of anomalies plus timestamped video for traceable, accurate defect localization.
IP68 Waterproof & Dustproof
Reliable operation in waterlogged and muddy environments, and in humid and dusty industrial lines.
360° Rotatable Camera
Navigates bends, diameter transitions and complex pipe geometries, eliminating blind spots with adaptive angle adjustment.
Easy One-Person Deployment
Lightweight and quick to set up — one operator can deploy the crawler, run the survey and pack down without extra crew.
The Numbers That Matter.

Questions, Answered.
The questions operators ask most about the PIPESOLV K18 — from line fit to verifying the result.
What pipe sizes does the K18 fit?
DN300 to DN2000 pipelines - municipal water supply and drainage networks, industrial process corridors, and gas and heat transmission lines.
How is the K18 controlled?
Via a dedicated control box, with 100 m work distance and offline-capable operation - real-time monitoring without cable retrieval delays.
What defects can the K18 detect?
Wall cracks down to 0.5 mm, joint misalignment, deformation, root intrusion, sediment blockages and early-stage corrosion and leaks.
Can it work in wet or muddy pipes?
Yes. The IP68 waterproof and dustproof rating keeps the robot reliable in waterlogged, muddy, humid and dusty environments.
How far can the K18 run in one deployment?
The K18 delivers up to 100 m work distance with a dedicated control box and offline-capable operation, so long straight runs are surveyed in a single pass - quicker turnaround on long-distance inspections.
Is the K18 suitable for daily municipal work?
Yes — lightweight, quick to deploy and simple to operate, it is designed as the daily workhorse for routine municipal and industrial surveys.
