ROV / CONFIGURATIONS

10-thruster ROV

More possibilities for underwater work.

Our ten-T200 configuration, developed through experimentation with mini-ROVs.

THE SYSTEM IN PRACTICE

How it fits
your work.

Operating needs vary widely between mini-ROVs and larger-class vehicles. Our research on this configuration starts with extending the capabilities of a compact vehicle.

The configuration uses ten T200 thrusters: six for horizontal movement and four for vertical movement. Lighting and power are integrated to support fieldwork.

A 6 + 4 architecture for vehicle movement.

Dedicated lighting

Lights and external connections integrated into the configuration.

Energy for the mission

Battery equipment is assessed together with instruments and the working profile.

CONFIGURATIONS, EQUIPMENT AND DATA

A closer look.

Between mini-ROVs and larger-class vehicles

This configuration grew from our experimentation to increase thrust and payload capacity on a compact platform. It uses ten T200 thrusters: six horizontal and four vertical. Increased thrust comes with a different weight and payload balance.
