Topsky Firefighting smoke exhaust and fire extinguishing robot

A fire crew can send a hose forward, but it cannot send its eyes and nose into a smoke-filled hall without risking people. The Topsky Firefighting smoke exhaust and fire extinguishing robot, model RXR-MC80BGD, is built to go in their place. It carries the water or foam, and it also carries the sensors that tell commanders what they are dealing with.

The product is available through this page, by quotation.

Background

The TOPSKY brand and the special-robot family

TOPSKY markets a line of special robots for fire and rescue work, and this store's catalog carries several of them. The family covers small reconnaissance units, dry powder units, all-terrain units and explosion-proof extinguishing units. If you are comparing, the Topsky All-terrain fire fighting robot shows how the range is divided by task.

The RXR-MC80BGD is an explosion-proof fire extinguishing reconnaissance robot, a kind of special robot. That matters: the machine is meant for places where firefighters cannot safely stand, such as petrochemical sites, tank areas, large warehouses and tunnels.

Positioning and key technology

The RXR-MC80BGD is electric, powered by a ternary lithium battery. Its overall protection level is IP67, and the chassis protection level is also IP67. A front and rear swinging arm structure lets it climb vertical obstacles of 600mm or more, and an explosion-proof lifting platform raises the working head from 1065mm to 1870mm.

It is also a connected machine. Location, power, audio, video and gas detection information can be transmitted to the cloud through the 4G/5G network, and viewed on a back-end PC and on mobile terminals. The operator works from a handheld remote control terminal with integrated picture and data. For wider context, see our Firefighting Robots category.

What makes the RXR-MC80BGD different from a fixed monitor or a hose crew?

A fixed monitor sprays where it was installed, and a hose crew sprays where people can stand. The RXR-MC80BGD sprays where the fire is. It drives to the scene under remote control, with stepless speed up to at least 1.59m/s, and it can tow two DN80 enrichment hoses over a distance of 80m or more. With a traction force of at least 3585N, the hose line is not a limit on where it can go.

Once in position, it delivers 80L/s of water or 75L/s of foam at a working pressure of 1.0-1.2 (Mpa), with a water range of at least 85m. The lifting platform raises the working head from 1065mm to 1870mm, which helps the operator aim over low obstacles.

The second difference is information. Most fire monitors are blind tools. This robot detects up to 8 kinds of gases and 2 kinds of environmental parameters, and sends location, power, audio, video and gas readings to the cloud over 4G/5G. A commander at the back-end PC sees what the robot sees.

How does it handle rough ground and hazardous atmospheres?

The front and rear swinging arm structure gives it a vertical obstacle crossing height of 600mm or more, so curbs, debris and low barriers are less of a problem. An overall IP67 protection level, with the chassis also at IP67, answers the dust and water exposure that comes with a fire scene. The unit is explosion-proof, which is the property buyers in petrochemical and oil-storage settings look for first.

It weighs no more than 670kg and measures no more than 1350mm long, 920mm wide and 1260mm high, so planners can check access routes, ramps and transport against those figures. If you need a different balance of size and task, the Topsky Tianlong Conquest D5 Explosion-Proof Fire Fighting Robot (RXR-MC80BD) is the page to compare.

Who is the RXR-MC80BGD for?

Industrial fire brigades at petrochemical plants and oil tank areas are the most natural buyers, because the combination of explosion-proof design and gas detection suits their risks. Municipal and professional fire services will find it useful for large warehouse fires and for tunnel incidents, including highway and railway tunnels, where firefighters cannot easily approach.

Emergency management agencies can use it for environmental reconnaissance in disaster areas, since its basic functions include audio and video reconnaissance and toxic and hazardous gas reconnaissance. Port, airport and utility operators with large hazardous assets may also consider it as a standing asset. Buyers who need reconnaissance only, without extinguishing, may prefer the Topsky Firefighting reconnaissance modeling robot, and those who need dry powder should look at the Topsky Fire-fighting dry powder extinguishing robot.

What is the RXR-MC80BGD used for?

1. Fire extinguishing with water or foam. It delivers 80L/s of water or 75L/s of foam from a safe distance.
2. Audio and video reconnaissance. It shows commanders the scene before and during the response.
3. Toxic and hazardous gas reconnaissance. It detects up to 8 kinds of gases and 2 kinds of environmental parameters.
4. Environmental reconnaissance in disaster areas. It surveys places where people should not enter yet.
5. Hose towing. It can tow two DN80 enrichment hoses over 80m or more.
6. Remote status monitoring. Location, power, audio, video and gas data go to the cloud over 4G/5G for viewing on PC and mobile terminals.

Summary

The RXR-MC80BGD answers a simple problem: the people who need to know what is happening in a fire are the same people who should not be standing in it. It puts extinguishing power, gas detection, video and cloud reporting on one electric, explosion-proof platform, and it lets the crew work from a distance.
