OverviewThe document describes a sophisticated vessel maneuvering system designed to reduce stress and enhance relaxation for pilots by simplifying control through advanced technology.
SpecificationsThe system, known as the Vessel Maneuvering Assistant (VMA), allows for precise control of the vessel using a joystick. It supports both translation and rotation maneuvers, enabling the vessel to perform perfect turns and complex movements with ease. The system integrates with various propulsion systems, including conventional shaft-lines, hydrojets, and surface propellers.
Technical Features- Operates on a 12/24 V DC system.
- CANBUS communication for seamless integration.
- Proportional axis joystick with patented algorithm.
- IP67 components for durability.
- Internal compass for navigation.
- Simple LED troubleshooting for ease of maintenance.
Options- Stern-thruster control.
- Up to 6 different stations for control.
- Engine RPM control.
- Hydrojets version available.
- Surface propellers version available.
Main Advantages- Ease of use with intuitive controls.
- Safety and reliability during operations.
- High accuracy in maneuvering.
- Easy installation, suitable for retrofitting.
- Responsive and intuitive interface.
- Automatic compensation for wind effects.
Integration and CompatibilityThe system is compatible with leading marine engine and electronic controls from manufacturers such as CATERPILLAR, MTU, VOLVO, MAN, CUMMINS, ZF, and others.
ConclusionThe VMA system offers a comprehensive solution for vessel maneuvering, enhancing precision and reducing pilot workload through advanced electronic modulation and control.
