PURPOSE: To wind around a material to be inspected such as an electric wire and a pipeline so as to perform the spiral travelling, and to automate various inspections by providing a main body formed by connecting plural vehicles to be inspected in series with connecting parts, which are flexibly and mechanically connected.
CONSTITUTION: Plural vehicles 2 to be inspected are connected in series by connecting parts, which are flexibly and mechanically connected, so as to form a main body 1. Each vehicle 2 to be inspected is formed of a crawler 3 to be spirally wound around a material to be inspected such as an electric wire 15 for the spiral travelling and to be driven by a driving motor 4, a motor control unit 5 loaded with a control micro processor for controlling the driving motor 4, an abnormal condition detecting unit 8 for detecting the abnormal condition of the material to be inspected, and a power source 9 formed of solar batteries 10, 11.
