56MTRApril 2012products Forum Subseas New Tomahawk ROV Forum Subsea Technologies launched Tomahawk, the latest addition to its range of multi-role ROVs. Tomahawk has been built to be fast and agile and it shares the same 35kW power system and thrustersas Forums largest electric, the Comanche. It is manufactured by Sub- Atlantic, a product line of Forum Subsea Technologies, at its facility in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Tomahawks open deck space and payload are sup- ported by a large buoyancy area, which is designed to provide a stable platform. It is rated to a depth of 3,000m, which makes it suited for deep-water operations such as the Gulf of Mexico, West Africa, and Brazil. Tomahawk is equipped with Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing (CWDM) and dual gigabit Ethernet options and communication junc- tion box to easily integrate the operators own equipment, which can be monitored, controlled and diagnosed by Forum Subseas Sub-Atlantic subCAN system. Combined with Sub-Atlantics 3,000v, 400Hz small diameter tether technology makes the Tomahawks speed and agility ideal for live-boating operations. It can also be equipped with a 10kW hydraulic power unit for running heavy-duty manipulators, tools and work skids. The Type 4 Tether Management System (TMS) allows the tether to be connected to either rear or top of the Tomahawk. www.f-e-t.com/our_products_technologies/subsea-solutions LUXUS RangeLaunched by MacArtney The MacArtney Group is launching a new video unit, camera and light range, the LUXUS series with three types of lights, four cameras, two video units and accessories. Their compact size and robust design make them ideal for ROV and diving applications ? from shallow dives to deep water ROV operations. MacArtneys LUXUS range is based on standard housings, which makes swapping lights and cameras in the field fast and convenient.A camera or light type can be removed from the bracket and exchanged with another for a change in application ? from low light to color zoom or HD or high power LED. Standard sizing makes camera or light changes more convenient and all the cameras and lights in the LUXUS range use the same brackets. Lights can also be dimmed from 0 to 100%, making it easy to perfect the light level while working. The diver or operator neednt worry about choosing the right depth rating for cameras or LED lights. Thecomplete range is tested to 4000 metres as standard. The compact design is based on three standard sized titanium housings that give the entire range a working depth of 4000m. Housings are light, strong and non-oxidizing for long lifetime and minimal servicing. Their cylin- drical shape combines strength and compact design, making them ideal for divers or on ROVs.Forum SVPMick Joneswith Tomahawk featured products The LUXUS series includes:Lights?LUXUS Compact LED ?LUXUS Power LED ?LUXUS High Power LED Cameras?LUXUS Compact Camera ?LUXUS Low Light Camera ?LUXUS Colour Zoom Camera ?LUXUS High Definition Camera Video units ?LUXUS Compact Media Controller ?LUXUS Multi Media Controller Other?LUXUS Pistol Grip ?Compact Diver Bundle Compact Media Controller, Compact Camera, Compact LED, SubConn connectors and 100mcables
