6. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
General
The VertiDrive V700 Series robot is a remote-controlled vehicle equipped with strong permanent magnets that can
work on flat or slightly curved steel surfaces at any angle, e.g., vertically, or underneath a horizontal surface (upside
down).
The robot is designed as a modular carrier for different applications and is typically used for various degrees of surface
cleaning and surface preparation.
The system consists of the robot, a (50m) umbilical cable, and a control box with remote control. This chapter
describes all system components in detail.
Different applications can be mounted on the robot. VertiDrive also offers options like a transport frame and a winch
system. These products are only briefly mentioned in this manual. For further details, please refer to the respective
user manuals.

The robot is the modular carrier for the different applications and provides the following functionalities:
 Adhesion to the surface by one big front magnet located between the large wheels and a smaller magnet
at the back (between the caster wheels);
 High traction and movement over the steel surface by the two large front wheels;
 Controlled movement of the application mounted on the robot, including actuator-controlled height
adjustment;
 Protection of the robot and application by a robust frame and fall guard, with attachment point for the fall
arrester cable.
