Seaeye Launches 1000m Rated
Falcon DR
Seaeye launched its 1,000 m rated Falcon DR, an ROV designed for deepwater work, inshore, offshore and down tunnels, where a small, portable, yet powerful ROV is needed. This new addition to the Falcon range comes with built in fiber optics, giving high volume data transmis- sion over a long umbilical, and the ability to use broadcast quality video cameras. Tilting variable intensity lights are linked to a new camera tilt mechanism for superior illumination when film- ing above or below the vehicle.
The new deep-rated Falcon DR incorporates a number of rolling developments in the Falcon range, including improved tolerances to the gearboxes of the five independent thrusters for smoother running and a longer life. These brushless thrusters, each with velocity feedback, are designed to give precise and rapid control for finger-tip maneuverability.
Also newly introduced is a lightweight surface control unit that is almost half the size of the earlier units and is much lighter. It comes with a fold out 17-in. flat screen and keyboard. The unit operates through a universal single phase, self-selecting AC input of 100 to 270 volts at 2.8 kW. And for hostile conditions an optional IP68 waterproof surface control unit is also available.
