]]> Built specifically for Norbit’s integrated sonar systems the new Portus Pole fits in a single airline checked luggage case. With a combined weight of 60lbs/27kg, including wheeled hard ski case, it is safely transported to your next vessel of opportunity and set up by a single person. Multi-directional carbon fibre weave shaped from a streamlined body provides unprecedented rigidity while enabling sustained survey speeds of 8-knots with pole fully extended. The new MK3 kit incorporates a 3-position telescopic mast with fixed/known offsets and repeatable patch test alignments for rapid and accurate construction (dredge), infrastructure or clearance surveys. May be setup without tools and on nearly any vessel. Setup, power on and explore more.

The model 210EHLWR winch is a rugged, general purpose oceanographic winch. Except for having to supply "outside power" to the electric motor, the unit is self-contained.

The DT model 210EHLWR is equipped with a hydroactive type level wind system. This system is an automatic hydraulically operated device that is guided by the cable angle of incidence on the
drum, and is independent of the cable diameter or side loads. Due to the use of high strength screw and of a hydraulic motor driving the screw, it is possible to achieve high side loads without wear on the essential parts of the system. This ability to tolerate heavy side loads allows the winch to be positioned in a convenient location on the deck without affecting proper operations.

Built in response to demand for a field-serviceable and field-reparable product, this underway profiling system is made in Australia, consists of off-the-shelf industrial automation components, widely available connectors and cables and utilises an Australian made free-fall winch. Revelare Systems’ underway profiler can be fitted with sound velocity, turbidity, dissolved gas and other water column sensors.

The post Revelare: Underway Profiling Winch appeared first on Unique Group.

]]> The controller operates autonomously to conduct underway profiling in depths up to 100 metres. Profiling can be triggered manually, or automatically using time, depth, speed and surface sound velocity data sourced via Ethernet link to industry standard acquisition software, including QINSy.
The system automatically computes cast trajectory and operates the winch to freewheel the sensor during the downcast and retrieve when it reaches a preset safety altitude above the seabed.

]]> UG: Uni-Winch (Mini) https://www.uniquegroup.com/product/ug-tether-winch/ Tue, 11 Oct 2022 09:07:12 +0000 https://www.uniquegroup.com/product/ug-tether-winch/ Unique Group Tether Winch is a network controlled lightweight marine spooling winch particularly suited for USV operations (Unmanned Surface Vessels). As control is through a web interface it lends itself to simple integration on a wide range of platforms and applications.

Despite a weight of only 20kg, it is capable of a continuous pull force of 47kg-80kg (depending on the amount of tether on the drum) and can therefore deploy sondes or other environmental monitoring instrumentation. There is a spooling gear that can manage cables from 4-13mm in diameter and provides feedback on the length deployed.

The deck footprint is only 220mm by 603mm, with a height of 355mm ensuring that it is well suited to utilisation on very small USV’s. The winch has also been designed to withstand total immersion and it can therefore tolerate being mounted in the splash zone on USVs with very low freeboards.

A significant advantage of this winch is its capability to tether aerial drones. By supplying power via the tether, the aerial drone will no longer have its endurance dictated by the capacity of its on-board battery pack.  This can significantly increase the capability of the aerial drone on a vessel. Survey tasks such as Lidar data acquisition or photography will no longer be time limited to a relatively short battery capacity. Telemetry of data can also be improved as the drone will be able to increase the height of vessel mounted telemetry antenna.

The winch runs on 24V DC at a rated 20A with a peak current demand of up to 50A.

Eight-way slip rings are fitted providing six communication lines rated 2A @ 24V DC, and two power lines rated 10A @ 400V DC.
