project overview
project overview
Verti-Pit Pad is a proof-of-concept product that brings the Verti-Pit FSM + Robot Arm concept into a working unit built for demanding defence and outdoor field operation. Designed for low-volume production and rugged operating conditions, it is manufactured in PA12 GB via MJF. To work within the process's limited print size, the body is divided into parts, with the joints structurally resolved for both ease of assembly and the strength that split parts can otherwise lose. Portability shaped the form throughout: the inspection pad folds for carrying, the separate robot arm attaches through a simplified mount the user can fit easily, and the pad's flatness when unfolded was carefully controlled to keep inspection accurate.

Verti-Pit Pad는 Verti-Pit FSM + Robot Arm 프로젝트에서 도출된 컨셉을 실제 운용 가능한 제품으로 구현한 POC 제품으로, 까다로운 국방·옥외 현장 운용을 목표로 제작되었습니다. 소량 양산과 거친 운용 환경을 고려해 PA12 GB 소재를 MJF 방식으로 제조했습니다. 프린팅 사이즈 제약에 맞춰 본체를 파팅으로 나누고, 분할된 부위에서 약해질 수 있는 조립부를 구조적으로 해결해 조립 편의성과 강성을 함께 확보했습니다. 휴대성은 전체 형태를 좌우한 고려점이었습니다. 점검 패드는 접어서 들고 다닐 수 있게 하고, 별도로 부착하는 로봇암은 사용자가 쉽게 장착하도록 결착 방식을 단순화했으며, 패드를 펼쳤을 때의 평탄도까지 세심하게 잡아 점검 정확도를 유지했습니다.

These choices produce a unit that is light yet holds up to a rough operating environment, proving the Verti-Pit concept beyond the drawing board while remaining viable to produce in small volumes. Built to fold, carry, and assemble with minimal effort, it moves easily to wherever an inspection is needed and sets up reliably on arrival. The result is a deployable, field-ready validation of the platform for Weflo—bridging concept and real-world operation.

이러한 선택은 가벼우면서도 거친 운용 환경을 견뎌내는 제품을 만들어, Verti-Pit 컨셉을 도면 너머에서 입증하는 동시에 소량 양산이 가능한 수준을 유지합니다. 접고, 들고, 손쉽게 조립하도록 만들어져 점검이 필요한 곳 어디로든 쉽게 이동하고 도착 즉시 안정적으로 전개됩니다. 그 결과, 위플로는 이 플랫폼을 현장에 배치해 검증할 수 있는 실운용 가능한 결과물을 얻어, 컨셉과 실제 운용을 잇습니다.
