Orion AP3-D1
Orion AP3-D1
Pliabot® Aerial Inspector for Contact Detection
The Orion AP3-D1, redefines aerial contact inspection. Compatible with popular medium-sized drone platforms like the DJI M300 and M350 RTK, the AP3-D1 enables safe, stable, and efficient high-altitude lateral inspections — unlocking new possibilities for bridge inspection, wind turbine maintenance, and infrastructure surveys.
Key Features
Safe Multi-Angle Contact Operations
The Orion AP3-D1’s pliable gimbal and lateral detection module allow for stable, safe contact at multiple angles, even on complex surfaces.
30 Seconds of Continuous Force
Maintains lateral contact force of up to 20N for up to 30 seconds while hovering, ensuring thorough inspection without compromising drone stability.
Real-Time Force Feedback
A built-in high-definition camera and real-time force monitoring allow operators to visualize and adjust inspection in flight for precision results.
Adaptation to Complex Inspections
Supports multiple inspection modules including non-destructive testing, thickness measurement, ultrasonic testing, thermal imaging, and more — with a quick-change modular design.
Supports Complex Moisture Detection
Integrated internal water tank and spraying module enable surface wetting, making moisture-based contact inspections possible.
Lightweight and Compact
Standardly compatible with drones carrying 3 kg payloads. The foldable Z-shape module reduces storage space to only 0.8m, perfect for easy transport and deployment.
Rapid 1-Minute Deployment
Quick-change modular design allows for complete installation and readiness within just one minute, streamlining mission preparation.
Integrated Flight Control
Seamless integration with DJI flight control systems allows for one-person operation — managing both the aircraft and the detection module from the same controller.
