Following multiple on and offshore development campaigns, the Lizard technology has evolved to meet industry demands for diver-less inspection of offshore structures. By collaborating with industry experts, the Lizard has successfully completed multiple frontline campaigns, delivering significant cost savings and high-quality datasets for confident results.
As a non-contacting technology, the Lizard array application is easier to control, eliminating the need for constant pressure and preventing wear on the array elements. This ensures long lifespan and minimizes failure risks.
The Lizard array outputs real-time Field Coupling data from each Bx sensor element, offering insight into probe application. This reduces lighting and camera requirements while providing a ‘road map’ for robotic manipulation control, significantly enhancing accuracy and repeatability.
Recognizing the challenges of robotic scan manipulation, Lizard developed the LP180SR and LP170SR multi-array types with software-selectable elements. This allows adjacent regions to be accessed without rotating the inspection device by 180 degrees.
The Lizard Repetitive Scan option enables acquisition of continuous datasets at varying speeds, with full playback, analysis, and archival capabilities. The comprehensive feedback system instills confidence in operators managing complex inspection tasks.
Through close collaboration on and offshore, Lizard has created a world-class technology package designed to address real-life challenges in subsea robotic manipulation.
