REMOTELY OPERATED VISION AND SENSE Underwater Inspection System The world leading micro ROV, the AC-ROV is the most capable and portable underwater inspection system on the market. A complete system comes in one rugged waterproof hand carry case with an all up weight of just 18kg. It defines the “HAND CARRY” class in underwater inspection systems. CE Marked and certified for all “feet wet” applications, offshore, inshore or onshore, it is the safest and quickest tool for your underwater inspection. One person can easily deploy the system in less than 3 minutes. Not only can it be carried in one hand, it can also be controlled with one hand, leaving the other free to tend to the tether, take notes, operate the manipulator or answer your mobile. The AC-ROV is a single operator system and a benchmark in ROV design. • Hand Carry • Rapid Deployment • Single Operator The mobility of the AC-ROV sets it in a class apart. The 4 horizontal thrusters operate together to power the AC-ROV forward, back and sideways. Their “vectored” arrangement is like having 4 forward and 4 side, or lateral thrusters. This is the thruster set up on the vast majority of larger commercial ROVs because lateral power and speed is as important as forward power and speed. One is used to get you to the target and the other is for keeping you on target. More often than not any current at a target will not be head-on, but SIDE-ON, so serious inspection requires serious lateral flight capability. This is why the AC-ROV can fly as fast sideways as it can forward and back, or more importantly, turn and hold station in a current without getting washed away. There are also 2 vertical thrusters for up, down and tilt control. • Unequalled Mobility (5 degrees of freedom) • Holds position when turning in current To make the most of the AC-ROV’s manoeuvrability, the system uses a truly intuitive 3D controller with a single handed grip that can be moved in any direction, rotated and tilted. The AC-ROV responds by moving in the same direction that the grip is moved. The controller also incorporates an array of push button flight assist functions. • Intuitive 3D Control (use any hand) • Powerful Flight Assist Functions With a pipe “fly through” size of 190mm and a pipe “drop through” size of 210mm, the AC-ROV can get into seriously small spaces. The unique AC-ROV thrusters do not have central shafts and the inward pointing blades do not meet. They have proven to be foul proof and provide full bore equal thrust in both directions. This is not the case for shaft mounted thrusters which normally have a motor right in the middle of the flow path and a shaft just waiting to foul up. The design results in an overall power to weight ratio 50 -100% greater than other small ROVs. All these market leading attributes are delivered in an extremely robust, reliable, modular design. Its inherent strength and serviceability means that the AC-ROV keeps coming back for more. • 190mm Pipe Fly Through • High Performance Centre-less Thrusters (very efficient and foul proof) • Robust and Serviceable Modular Design Check its PEDIGREE – designed and manufactured in Aberdeen (Scotland) by born and bred diving and ROV engineers that routinely deliver solutions for water depths from 0 to more than 6000m.
