Product catalog summary
Overview
The Teledyne SeaBotix vLBV and vLBC are advanced MiniROV systems designed for high-performance underwater operations. These systems offer robust capabilities in small, portable formats, suitable for both military and commercial applications.

vLBV MiniROV Systems
The vLBV300 and vLBV950 models feature four powerful vectored horizontal thrusters, providing nearly equal thrust in all directions. They are equipped with high-resolution cameras, LED lighting, and a low-drag tether, making them ideal for offshore tasks. The systems include SmartFlightTM automated navigation and can be upgraded with an Integrated Navigation/Control Console (INC) for enhanced sensor operations.
  • Depth Rating: 300 m and 950 m
  • Thrusters: 6X Vectored Brushless DC Thrusters
  • Camera: 650 TVL high-resolution color
  • Lighting: 2,160 lumen LED
  • Control: Dual rugged cases with daylight-readable monitor

vLBC Crawler Systems
The vLBC system is designed for ship hull and infrastructure inspections, utilizing a patented Vortex Generator for attachment to surfaces without magnets or thrusters. This system converts a standard vLBV300 into a 5-axis crawler, providing high-quality data output and reducing operator fatigue.
  • Drive Mechanism: Tracked drive with single axle
  • Attraction Device: SeaBotix Vortex Generator
  • Surface Capability: Any relatively flat, hard surface

Technical Specifications
  • vLBV Dimensions: Length 625 mm, Width 390 mm, Height 390 mm
  • vLBC Dimensions: Length 625 mm, Width 390 mm, Height 500 mm
  • Weight: vLBV 18 kg, vLBC 35 kg
  • Speed: vLBV 3 knots, vLBC 35 m/min

Options and Accessories
Both systems offer a range of optional features, including extended tether lengths, additional cameras, sonar systems, and tracking capabilities. The systems are supported by a 2-year warranty and global technical support.

vLBV & vLBC-1

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.
