The Climbolino®E Milling Robot – A Powerhouse for Sewer Rehabilitation

11.03.2026

In sewer rehabilitation, rotating cleaning devices are particularly used when dealing with stubborn deposits that block a large portion of the pipe’s cross-section. Drilling, hammer drilling and milling tools are designed to match the internal diameter of the pipe being cleared. They move through the pipe using high-pressure nozzles, remove deposits across the entire cross-section at the front, and flush the debris out of the pipeline with the remaining water.

In addition to these cleaning devices, robots are increasingly being used in non-accessible areas. Equipped with a chassis, lighting and a camera, they can travel to the desired location and carry out targeted, remote-controlled work using drills, milling cutters and similar tools.

Introducing the Climbolino®E milling robot and its key advantages.

The Climbolino®E Milling Robot – A Powerhouse for House Connection Applications

The Climbolino®E milling robot is used in sewer rehabilitation, especially when pipe sections need to be reopened after short liner or long liner rehabilitation. It is also ideal for removing stubborn deposits inside pipes. It is designed exclusively for milling work within sewer pipes.

This milling robot is specifically intended for use in house connection areas and operates entirely electronically. It does not require large compressors or high-voltage power connections. Instead, it can simply be plugged into a standard household socket, and a conventional compressor is sufficient for operation—making it very easy to use.

The system consists of four components:

Compressed air unit
Hose case
Control unit
Milling robot

Powerful, Flexible and Compact

The Climbolino®E is equipped with a powerful electric milling spindle (up to 1 kW). It is highly flexible when navigating bends, making it ideal for house connection pipes. It can be used in a wide range of environments and is made of stainless steel.

It features high-tech milling tools and a 30-metre hose, which can be extended if required. The robot is suitable for pipes with internal diameters from 60 mm to 300 mm. Thanks to its flexible design, it can pass through almost all bends and curves—even 90° bends in DN70 pipes are no obstacle.

The robot can be easily retrieved from the pipe by pulling on both the supply line and a cable attached to its head.

Optimal Visibility and Control

The integrated camera offers adjustable viewing angles, and the speed is infinitely variable. The sophisticated control unit with an extra-large 12-inch LED display ensures excellent visibility and control—even in bright daylight.

A protective tablet cover is included to prevent screen damage, and documentation devices can be connected. The robot is controlled via joystick and simple button combinations on the tablet.

The robot is equipped with 12 dimmable LEDs to optimally illuminate the working area.

Compact Design and Easy Handling

Weighing 56 kg and measuring 31 × 51 × 105 cm, the robot features a compact and user-friendly design. It can be divided into several parts using quick-release fasteners, making it easy to transport and space-saving.

Versatile Milling Tools

Diamond tools
Wire and grinding tools
Carbide-granulate milling tools
High-speed steel tools

A concrete cutter for stone and concrete is included, along with tools for processing iron, wood and plastics.

Practical Features and Accessories

Spare camera
Replacement motor
Maintenance and repair tools

These components can be replaced quickly on-site if needed. In case of more serious issues, a replacement unit can be provided by the manufacturer.

An integrated toolbox inside the robot ensures that all necessary tools are always available and safely stored.

Battery Operation and Efficiency

Two 56 V batteries provide independent power supply and up to two hours of operating time. One battery powers the control system (12 V), while the other powers the milling motor (54 V).

The robot is particularly energy-efficient, consuming up to 90% less energy than conventional milling robots.

Additional Highlights

Low noise level (below 80 dB(A))
Robust tyres and powerful motor (up to 14,000 rpm)
30 m hose (extendable), reinforced yet flexible
Hygienic and compact hose storage
Requires an oil-free compressor (approx. 180 litres per minute)

Conclusion

The Climbolino®E milling robot combines maximum performance with compact design. Its ease of use, flexibility, energy efficiency and wide range of applications make it an ideal solution for modern sewer rehabilitation— particularly in house connection areas.

Climbolino®E Milling Robot

The Climbolino®E milling robot is specially designed for smooth sewer rehabilitation. This house connection robot has a strong electric milling spindle as well as arcuate capability. In addition, the machine can be used in an extremely wide range of environments. This total package is a real revolution in sewage technology. All materials are made of special stainless steel. Scope of delivery of the Climbolino®E: high-performance membrane dryer (has three pre-filter stages: coarse, medium, fine) automated condensate separator 12" LED display / control unit high-tech milling tools made of PCD 30 m hose, individually extendable integrated tool set two exchangeable batteries Range of application: pipes with a diameter of 60 mm - 300 mmThe milling robot is handy and compact thanks to its ergonomic design. Thanks to the 12" LED display, you always have a razor-sharp image, which ensures relaxed working, even in daylight. Overall, the milling robot weighs a slim 56 kg and the space-saving design also contributes to easy handling of the device. In addition, the Climbolino E can be divided into 3 parts using quick-release fasteners. The milling attachments are also an absolute highlight, as each individual attachment has been independently manufactured for almost any material. Whether it is diamond tools, wire or grinding tools, milling tools with carbide granules or high-speed steel tools, there is something here for every need.Another highlight are certainly the two replaceable batteries on the device, they allow a long-term operation with a power of 56 V each. Up to two hours of battery life is guaranteed with a battery capacity of 12 Ah/ 216 Wh. The batteries prevent self-discharge and memory effect.In addition, you will find a built-in tool box in the milling robot, where you can easily and conveniently store your tools. Everything you need is thus ready to hand and safely stored at the place of use, because the toolbox is well protected and contains a foam insert that you can remove from the box and replace at any time. Here you will also find space for up to three milling tools. Other advantages: low noise level ISO guard against moisture included electric milling spindle has strong power with max. 1 kw camera has adjustable viewing angles hose container: hygienic and compact and the speed is infinitely variable energy saving: up to 90% compared to conventional milling robots The Climbolino®E milling robot is one of the first milling robots in the house connection sector that runs electronically. You don't need large compressors. A standard compressor and a household socket are sufficient to operate it.
