Manipulators and Accessories

The HLK-HD5 Manipulator is a heavy-duty, rugged five-function arm designed for the new breed of smaller work class ROVs.

It incorporates the HLK-2020 Continuous Jaw Rotate Mechanism which also has the unique 19mm diameter rope cutter. The arm incorporates a flange mounting to facilitate port or starboard mounting configurations on the slew plate. The slew plate is designed to enable the arm to swing across the front of the vehicle and also 30º to the outside making it also suitable as a pipeline camera platform. A rotating slew can also be used, enabling the arm to be rotated 90º from vertical to horizontal.

The Imenco 3-finger front adapter is made in high-strength stainless steel and will make an exact fit to Schilling’s Titan II/III/IV and Orion manipulators.

The front adapter assembly comes complete with an actuation plate and piston and all necessary gaskets and will replace the standard parallel grip by loosening the 6 bolts. The changeover is done in less than half an hour! A majority of the ROV operators prefer and have installed Imenco’s 3-finger jaw on their manipulator’s arms. There are over 300 Imenco jaws at work with a number of operators in the North Sea and elsewhere.

Imenco holds complete sets and spare parts in stock at all times, making delivery overnight possible. We are also holding jaw fingers and actuation bearings for Rigmaster manipulators and shearpinshafts for Schilling TII/III/IV azimuth shoulder actuator. Fishtail grips are stocked.

The Imenco 4-finger front adapter is made in high-strength stainless steel and will make an exact fit to Schilling’s Titan II/III/IV and Orion manipulators.

It is perfect to use on T-bar grips and for other applications that require a steady grip. The front adapter assembly comes complete with an actuation plate and piston and all necessary gaskets and will replace the standard parallel grip by loosening the 6 bolts. The changeover is done in less than half an hour! A majority of the ROV operators prefer and have installed Imenco’s 4-finger jaw on their manipulator’s arms.

The iVP is a long-established, field-proven, fully proportional intelligent valve pack based on industry-standard Wandfluh valves.

This fulfills the needs of all hydraulic control requirements such as complex tooling skids, tracked vehicles, tether management systems, tool deployment units, and manipulator arms.

The modular format allows the system to be expanded in the future if required. The fully integrated subsea unit is supplied with its own dedicated branded PC operating Fathom Systems Windows® based bespoke control software. For many years, the easy-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI) has guaranteed that critical tooling operations are performed to the highest and safest level.

The ATLAS is a new class of heavy-duty manipulator known as the dexterous grabber. It has been designed to lift heavy loads, while being lightweight and easy to control.

With six degrees of freedom and a high lift capacity (250kg at full extension), the ATLAS gives operators the freedom and strength to perform a wider range of heavy-duty jobs in harsh subsea environments.

For nearly every TITAN 4 manipulator in the market, there is a RigMaster supporting the mission. The RigMaster’s construction makes it durable and reliable in heavy-work class missions.

The RigMaster is a five-function, rate-controlled, heavy lift grabber arm that can be mounted on a wide range of subsea ROVs. Its construction is primarily titanium for structural strength, lightweight, corrosion resistance, and extraordinary resistance to damage from collisions.

Schilling Robotics’ TITAN 4 manipulator is the industry’s premier system that offers the optimum combination of dexterity and strength.

Hundreds of TITAN manipulators are in use worldwide every day and are the predominant manipulator of choice for work-class ROV systems.

Constructed mostly from titanium, it is uniquely capable of withstanding the industry’s harsh and repetitive needs day after day.

The master controller is preloaded with software for all standard manipulators (no EPROM required) and the software is selected by Rotary Switch. It operates on either RS-232 or RS-485 communications as a standard.

The master controller is available for TITAN 4, ORION 7P and CONAN 7P manipulators and there is also a dual-arm version available. Input is standard 90-260 VAC and the standard power consumption is 6 W start, 3 W run.

The wrist camera features an integrated titanium camera housing and internal cabling, offering superior protection and eliminating cable snags and abrasion.

The wrist-mounted TITAN integrated camera provides operators with an exceptional view of tasks being performed. The high-resolution camera and two bright LED lights are contained in an integrated titanium housing for maximum protection.

The Specialist Offshore Services OEM 1/4 turn hydraulic actuators are specifically designed for use on equipment that is launched and recovered on the ROV.

They are engineered to save time, reducing manipulator operations, so improving operational efficiencies. Can be fitted to any ROV operated 1/4 turn ball valve. Valve pressure rating is independent to actuator, works equally well on LP or HP valves.

The actuators replace traditional ROV 1/4 turn valve handles, making the operation a simple flick of a switch rather than a time wasting manipulator operation.
