Mechanical scanning
Circular observation or a selected sector.
SONAR / CIRCULAR SCANNING
Ping360
Explore the environment around the vehicle.
Mechanically scanning sonar for observing structures and obstacles even when optical visibility is limited.
Request informationTHE SYSTEM IN PRACTICE
How it fits
your work.
Ping360 mechanically steers its beam to build a scan of the surroundings. Acoustic images complement video during inspections and searches for reference features.
The scan develops over time: vehicle movement and the chosen sector affect interpretation. Mounting, settings and ROV stability must therefore be considered together.
Support in turbid water
Acoustic references to complement the camera.
Available connections
Interfaces selected for onboard integration.
CONFIGURATIONS, EQUIPMENT AND DATA
A closer look.
Mechanical scanning in low-visibility water
Ping360 rotates the acoustic beam to build a view around the vehicle. It can support navigation, inspection, obstacle detection, target location and tracking, and autonomous system development. It is not the single-beam Ping echo sounder.
