Development team

Our flexibility in implementing new technology elements is unbeatable. Thanks to continuous market research in the technical and electrical area, the personnel of Zikmund electronics can say that each new piece is better than and superior to the previous one. As plenty of new and better components are launched on the market every month, we purchase the individual components all over the world.

Thanks to our development team, we can boast of a number of first places, which, in the area of using new technologies, keep us among the top-ranking places in inspection camera system selling in the Czech Republic.

First place in designing or all five together

  • We were the first company on the market to replace the conventional halogen bulbs by LED diodes. We have a special series of high-performance LED diodes manufactured currently only for our cameras.
  • The cameras are robust and field resistant. The tractor arms for camera head hoisting are designed so as to withstand manual handling by the operator.
  • The camera head view indicator (since 1999) simplifies the operator's image orientation.
  • We launched the announced new laser diameter and ovality measurement function in 2008.
  • The Swiss stepping motors enable us to control camera head rotation speed. Therefore, the control joystick responds sensitively to the level of operator pressure. These are more complex, but very reliable motors.

We don't make dolls, but fighters

In surface construction, we bet on a simple and plain design without unnecessary pleasing elements. Our cameras are robust and good at resistance to rough terrain. For example, the arms of the electric lift device are designed with the aim of achieving the maximum life time, which is an "Achilles heel" with our competitors. Our cameras can be lifted up by the operator holding the arms of the electric lift device.

Lighting history

We were the first company to start using LED diodes. The originally used halogen bulbs were not suitable for the cold environment of waste water and had to be replaced frequently and be well re-sealed. LED diodes feature a long lifetime, thus making the operation of the inspection camera system cheaper. There are many types of LED diodes. We have special diodes with two different angles of light intensity custom-manufactured. LED diodes with angle of light intensity of 30° enable us to see far away in pipelines. LED diodes with a wide angle of light intensity of 70° are used for side lights. From a close side view, there are no flare spots in the middle of the image and peripheries are well lighted.

One-in-a-million project

In autumn 2007, we developed a special monitoring system for hot-water pipelines. The hot-water pipeline environment is different from the sewer environment. We had to face a great change in functionality. The camera had to drive not in the round sections of the sewerage systems, but on a flat, uncontaminated surface. It had to pass 15 cm high obstacles. To reverse in such difficult conditions, the system had to be equipped with a lighted back vision function.
The connector movable in two axes should protect the cable in such a tough environment. During driving, the camera had to be able to rotate in place.
After five months of intensive designing, programming and teamwork we handed over a fully functional camera meeting the relevant demands to the contractor.
