Orion AP3-D1
Orion AP3-D1 Aerial Inspector | Drone Contact Inspection Payload
The Orion AP3-D1 aerial inspector redefines aerial contact inspection for drones. Compatible with the DJI Matrice 300 RTK and Matrice 350 RTK, the Orion AP3-D1 aerial inspector enables safe, stable, and efficient high-altitude lateral inspections — unlocking new possibilities for bridge inspection, wind turbine maintenance, and complex infrastructure surveys.
Orion AP3-D1 Aerial Inspector Key Features
Safe Multi-Angle Contact Operations
The pliable gimbal and lateral detection module allow for stable, safe contact at multiple angles — even on complex curved and irregular surfaces.
30 Seconds of Continuous Contact 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 parameters in flight for precision results.
Modular Inspection Payload System
Supports multiple inspection modules including non-destructive testing, thickness measurement, ultrasonic testing, and thermal imaging — with a quick-change modular design for rapid mission reconfiguration.
Moisture Detection Support
Integrated internal water tank and spraying module enable surface wetting, making moisture-based contact inspections possible from the air.
Lightweight, Compact, and Rapid Deployment
Foldable Z-shape module reduces storage length to just 0.8 m — compatible with standard 3 kg payload drones. Quick-change modular design enables complete installation within one minute. One-person operation via seamless DJI flight control integration.
