vLBV-10 “Sealift”

The vLBV-10 “SeaLift” system utilizes six powerful vertical thrusters to produce a lifting capacity of 18 kg and yet still maintain a compact design.

Heavy lifting capability

The vLBV-10 adds four additional powerful thrusters to the vertical position giving it an unprecedented 18 kg (40 lb) lifting capability. Maintaining the small vLBV design provides operators with a highly portable tool for precisely lifting/deploying/retrieving heavy objects.

Articulating grabber

To handle the heavy lifting the vLBV-10 is fitted with an articulating single function grabber arm. In standard configuration the grabber arm is pointed out front for easy view by the primary camera and of objects of interest. Once the object is grasped the grabber arm can be rotated down to be centered under the ROV for lifting. This articulation keeps the vLBV-10 attitude stable.

Description

Powerful variable vector thruster configuration

Vectored thruster configuration provides amazing control in all horizontal directions, therefore the use offshore in demanding conditions. The vLBV-10 has impressive Bollard thrust with 18.1-22.5 kg f (40-50 pd f) forward. Thruster vector angle is variable from equal horizontal to forward optimized. Dual vertical thrusters offer greater vertical control and roll stabilization.

Optimized mechanical design

The vLBV-10 has undergone extensive mechanical design to optimize stability, capability, flexibility and serviceability. No other small ROV has had such attention to every detail as the vLBV line of ROV systems. The vLBV-10 is available in either 300 or 950 meter depth capabilities.

Ultra low drag, strong tether

The vLBV-10 uses the low drag tether that Teledyne SeaBotix has used in all it’s ROV system. At 8 mm (0.3 in) nominal diameter and 100 kg (220 pd f) working load the tether has minimal impact on the performance. The tether can be attached to the rear or top of the vLBV-10 depending on conditions.

Intuitive control system

Teledyne SeaBotix MiniROV controls have been regarded as the most intuitive of all small ROVs. The vLBV-10 is no different with the user friendly operator control unit and integrated control console.
