A Teledyne SeaBotix ROV Datasheet Optional USBL Tracking System Teledyne SeaBotix vLBV & vLBC vectored Little Benthic Vehicles Optional Grabber Optional Multi-Beam Imaging Sonar System vLBC Crawler Systems The SeaBotix vLBV represents an evolution in small, capable, vectored MiniROV systems. Four powerful 100 mm (4 in) horizontal thrusters, arranged in a vectored format, offer nearly equal horizontal thrust in all 360-degrees of flight. The horizontal thrusters can be manually adjusted to bias thrust in the forward direction for extreme pulling power. This works well in applications such as long internal pipe penetrations and high forward currents. Unmatched in versatility, the SeaBotix vLBC is a revolutionary approach to ship hull and infrastructure inspections for a wide range of military and commercial applications. High resolution cameras and sensors combined with SeaBotix’ industry-leading low drag tether make the vLBV the standard in offshore capability and portability. Also available with SmartFlightTM automated navigation. Standard features include a high resolution color camera, powerful LED lighting, depth, heading and temperature sensors, auto-depth, auto-heading and thruster trim, low-drag neutrally buoyant tether, and fully Integrated Control Console (ICC) with daylight-readable monitor. For operations using multiple sensors, upgrading the ICC to an Integrated Navigation/Control Console (INC) is recommended. With no magnets or thrusters (churning the water, impeding visibility), SeaBotix Crawlers employ the patented Vortex Generator to attach to any relatively flat, hard surface with 22 kgf (48 lbf) of attraction force. With no relative motion between the inspection surface and the sensors, output data is the highest quality possible and operator fatigue is greatly reduced. The patented Crawler Skid is attached to a standard vLBV300 MiniROV in minutes, converting it from a 4-axis ROV to a 5-axis hull and infrastructure crawler. No other system provides such a complete solution for quality underwater inspection and light work. All systems are offered with a 2-year limited manufacturer’s warranty. 24-hour technical support and service by factory staff and authorized service centers across the globe are standard.
