RIDGID®/Kollmann SeeSnake® Plus Self-Leveling Camera Head Provides Fast, Upright Diagnostics
ELYRIA, OH - January 2004 - Ridge Tool Company has introduced a new and improved camera designed for use with its RIDGID/Kollmann video inspection system. The SeeSnake® Plus self-leveling camera allows for faster diagnoses. The video image is always in an upright position with water flowing along the bottom of the pipe.
The new self-leveling camera has all the durability and reliability of a RIDGID® SeeSnake camera in a rugged, compact, self-leveling design.
"Because the self-leveling camera provides an image as it was meant to be seen, it can give customers a clear understanding of what they are looking at," said Mark Fleming, product manager, RIDGID/Kollmann. "This in turn helps our customers explain what repair is best needed."
At 1.365" in diameter and 2" long, the new self-leveling camera is one of the smallest cameras on the market today. The smaller size of the camera enables it to push further and through tighter spots, giving the user better diagnostic capability.
All SeeSnake Plus cameras feature a factory-installed 512 Hz transmitter that makes it compatible with the RIDGID NaviTrack(TM) line locator. When used in conjunction with NaviTrack's six-antenna technology, the camera head is easier to locate in underground pipe.
The new SeeSnake Plus combines high-quality components, stainless steel construction and waterproof camera housing, to provide the most durable, most maneuverable camera system available from Ridge Tool for inspecting pipe. It enables the user to see deep inside drain lines and other types of piping in order to determine the cause and location of blockages.
The system is UL- and CSA-listed. The UL/CSA certification meets OSHA requirements for cameras used in sanitary sewers.
Ridge Tool Company, a leading manufacturer of hand and power tools, markets its products in more than 130 countries. The company's broad offering includes threading and drain cleaning machines, and more than 300 types of tools serving the rental, plumbing, HVAC/R, industrial, electrical, petroleum, institutional, commercial and hardware markets.
