AC-ROV Thickness Gauge / Laser Scaling
The market leading AC-ROV Underwater Inspection System is now available with two further capability options.
A Thickness Gauge for measuring metal thickness in locations previously inaccessible to divers, other ROVs and underwater inspection systems, AND a Laser Scaling head for the relative measurement of surface defects, anomalies or any target within its view.
Thickness Gauge
Thickness measurement is an established integrity monitoring technique in
industry. Offshore or onshore, the AC-ROV can now deploy a thickness sensor in
support of your maintenance, safety and survey requirements of any underwater
metal. The vehicle mounted probe reduces inspection time and diver costs.
There is no specialist training requirements resulting in fast, accurate and
repeatable results. Measurements can be taken through coatings as there is no
need for special surface preparation, coating or corrosion removal.
Measurements can also be electronically stored for report generation.
- Greatly Reduce Inspection Time and Costs
- No special surface cleaning or preparation required
- Accepted by major Classification Societies
Inline with the AC-ROV ethos of mobility, portability and robustness the solution is
an integrated arrangement of the Cygnus multiple echo diver and ROV
deployable thickness sensor. The outcome retains the clean, robust and snag
free shape of the AC-ROV, whilst the top side hardware and interface is 100%
Cygnus standard.
The market leading mobility of the AC-ROV enables complete “ORBITAL”
thickness measurement. A capability never before available by ROV without a
manipulator. The first truly comprehensive small ROV thickness inspection
capability.
- Unrivalled Ingress and Inspection Capability
- Robust, Serviceable and fully Integrated Design
- Unique “ORBITAL” Inspection Capability
Laser Scaling
The AC-ROV Laser Scaling system is a fully integrated twin laser unit that
projects two parallel laser beams onto any target giving an exact indication of
scale. In a market first, the AC-ROV Laser Scaling system utilises variable
intensity lasers so beam strength can be adjusted according to the conditions
without compromising video quality.
- Variable Intensity
- Simple ‘no modification’ Retrofit
- Recordable Results
Another integrated and simple retro-fit AC-ROV capability solution combining
proven technologies.
