Motion, Imaging & Positioning Solutions for Marine and Subsea Systems
Underwater and marine applications require products that can be adapted for reliable operation in challenging environments such as high humidity, salt exposure, pressure, corrosion and limited accessibility.
Our technologies can support underwater inspection, subsea robotics, marine surveillance, sonar positioning, camera positioning, coastal monitoring and ocean research systems.
Underwater Camera & Sonar Positioning
Pan-tilt positioners, rotary actuators and servo-controlled motion systems can be used to position underwater cameras, sonar systems, inspection sensors and marine research payloads.
Applications include:
- ROV camera positioning
- Sonar scanning mechanisms
- Underwater inspection payloads
- Marine sensor alignment
- Harbor and port monitoring systems
- Coastal surveillance systems
Rotary Joints and Slip Rings for Rotating Marine Systems
Our 18 channel slip ring, 30 channel slip ring and fluid rotary joint can support systems requiring power, signal, data or fluid transfer across rotating components.
For underwater deployment, these products can be customized with suitable housings, sealing and environmental protection based on the application requirement.
Possible marine and underwater applications include:
- Rotating sonar assemblies
- Pan-tilt camera systems
- Subsea inspection tools
- Marine robotic arms
- Underwater winch or cable systems
- Fluid transfer in rotating test equipment
Laser-Based Imaging and Scanning
Laser-based systems such as LIDAR Precision Scanning Assembly and LIS Laser Imaging System can be used in controlled underwater or marine inspection applications where optical visibility allows. They can support close-range scanning, imaging, alignment and inspection of underwater structures.
Applications include:
- Underwater object inspection
- Hull and structure inspection
- Marine research imaging
- Controlled tank testing
- Sensor calibration
- Subsea equipment inspection
Lighting for Underwater Search and Inspection
Lighting systems can be adapted for underwater or marine search, inspection and reconnaissance applications. High-intensity lighting is useful for ROVs, divers, inspection platforms and marine recovery operations.
Applications include:
- Underwater inspection lighting
- Search and recovery support
- ROV illumination
- Marine night operations
- Port and harbor inspection
Actuators, Jacks and Robotics
Linear actuators and jacks can be used for controlled movement, valve operation, sampling systems, gripper mechanisms and underwater test platforms. Robotics expertise from systems such as MUGV, SCARA, Delta and COBOT platforms can also support customized automation solutions for marine inspection and remote operations.
Masts for Coastal and Surface-Based Surveillance
Tactical masts can be used on coastal stations, vessels or surface platforms to elevate cameras, radars, communication antennas and surveillance payloads for marine domain awareness.
