everything remotely possible™ TMS Type 4a TETHER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM work class rov tms Variable tether speed Tether line pull 450kgf (max) The docking box used on the underside of the TMS has a powerful two stage latching action that structurally locks the ROV to the TMS for deployment and recovery through the sea surface. Gentle Tether Handling Tether load sensing The top lifting cone can be a Forum Standard design or custom specified bullet, to suit an existing A-Frame. Auto- Render overload protection The Type 4a Tether Management System (TMS) has been specially developed to provide an ultra-compact and weight-efficient solution. Although it is smaller and lighter than any other current production TMS, the frame has a significant lift capacity, capable of handling a 8000kg ROV package with 3g rating. It is suitable for all work-class ROVs. The TMS stores and deploys the ROV package tether cable so that the ROV motion is decoupled from motions of the main umbilical to the surface vessel. It allows the ROV to work at a greater operating radius from the deployment point. The Type 4a TMS has a gentle tether route which will maximize the operating life of any matched tether.
