Type 6 Tether Management System

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Type 6a Tether Management System (TMS) is designed for work-class ROVs, offering a weight-efficient solution for handling a 9000kg ROV package with a 3g rating. It allows for greater operating radius by decoupling ROV motion from the main umbilical to the surface vessel.
Key Features:
  • 4000m Depth Rating
  • Variable tether speed
  • Gross ROV weight capacity of 9000 kg
  • Tether line pull of 300 kgf
  • Supports up to 1500m tether with a diameter of 27mm
  • Gentle tether handling and load sensing
  • Auto-render overload protection
  • Easy access docking latches
  • Stainless Steel Frame
Specifications:
  • Tether diameter range: 25-39mm
  • Capacity for 27mm tether: 1500m (1028kg in air)
  • Capacity for 35mm tether: 1029m (1132kg in air)
  • Maximum line pull (inner layer): 300 kgf (adjustable)
  • Haul in speed: 37m/min
  • Pay out speed: 40 m/min
  • Weight in air (excluding tether): 3120kg
  • Maximum load rating of umbilical connection: 13500kg (3g rating proof load 40500kgf)
  • Maximum load rating of ROV docking box: 9000kg (3g Rating proof load 27000kgf)
  • Dimensions: Diameter 2316mm, Narrowest width 2260mm, Height 2345mm
Design Considerations: The TMS features a two-stage latching action for secure ROV deployment and recovery. The top lifting cone can be customized to fit existing A-Frames. The system is designed for easy maintenance, with most tasks possible without removing guards.
Note: Specifications are illustrative and subject to change for product improvement. Confirm specific interface and performance details at order placement.

Type 6 Tether Management System-1

SUBSEA TECHNOLOGIES FMAX SAFE WORKING LOAD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM The Type 6a Tether Management System (TMS) has been specially developed to provide a long excursion, yet weight-efficient solution. It is capable of han- dling a 9000kg ROV package with 3g rating. It is suitable for all work-class 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 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. The top lifting cone can be a Forum Standard design or custom specified bul- let, to suit an existing A-Frame. The Type 6a TMS has a gentle tether route which will maximize the operating life of any matched tether.
