each providing a stronger, faster, lighter and more dexterous robotic arm capability for their class of vehicle. It manu- factures rotators, rotating grabbers, and other high-perfor- mance subsea electric actuators, too.

In the last six months, signi? cant improvements have been made to the Reach Bravo manipulator range. Two notable examples are the release of the High-Force Electric Cutter designed to cut 1-in. conduit cable, and a new depth rat- ing of 450m for the entire Bravo range. To improve suit- ability for offshore clients, the Reach Bravo Spares Package and Operator Tool Kit have also been released. The Reach
