Payloads

SKYRON2 utilizes a modular payload architecture with interchangeable sensor arms. Swap payloads based on inspection requirements — one platform, multiple testing capabilities.

Short Arm

The standard payload for routine inspections on accessible surfaces. Its compact form factor minimizes wind resistance and maximizes flight stability, making it ideal for high-volume thickness measurements across large structures.

Long Arm

Extends sensor reach beyond the standard envelope, enabling inspections on surfaces obstructed by piping, structural members, or other obstacles. Maintains the same adhesion reliability as the Short Arm while accessing otherwise unreachable measurement points.

Delta Arm

Features a motorized sensor positioner within a 20 cm × 20 cm window. Once attached to a surface, the sensor repositions to take multiple measurements without detaching — dramatically reducing inspection cycle time on dense measurement grids.

SPARM

The Surface Prep ARM combines a motorized stainless steel brush with a sensor probe in a single payload. Clears surface rust, loose scale, and debris before positioning the sensor for measurement — eliminating the need for separate surface preparation passes.

Surface Prep

A heavy-duty payload engineered exclusively for surface preparation. The motorized wire brush clears rust, loose scale, marine growth, and debris from ferromagnetic surfaces — conditioning them for subsequent UT measurement passes. Designed for workflows where dedicated prep runs are required prior to contact testing.

Sony Gimbal Camera

Provides gimbal-stabilized, high-resolution imagery for visual inspection programs. Captures detailed surface condition data for corrosion mapping, coating assessments, and defect documentation across large industrial structures.
