SM
1000 Low Cost ROV System
This
new generation SM 1000 Remote Operated Vehicle has
been developed as a light duty work-class ROV. The SM 1000
is capable of operating in ocean depths to 300 meters or 1000 feet.
Equipped with four powerful thruster modules and an intuitive joystick
control system, the inherently stable SM 1000 ROV can
be reliably maneuvered through the often challenging conditions associated
with underwater work sites.
The primary ROV vision system includes a high resolution, colour, zoom
video camera and two 50 watt variable intensity lights mounted in a
common housing that can be remotely rotated, up or down, to provide
optimal viewing.
The open ROV frame configuration makes it easy to access components
for thorough cleanup and replacement as well as proving space to add
or remove additional sensors and other options.
The
SM ROV system is compact, portable and can be easily
deployed and operated by one person. Very affordable ( this is the most
affordable vehicle in its class on the market). Full warranty. Very
high quality, superb engineering and assembly.
