Welcome to the World of ROS Positioners

The Most Complete Line of Reliable and

Accurate Positioners in the Industry

Remote Ocean Systems offers the most complete line of positioners in the industry, engineered for payloads from 10, 20, 100 and up to 350 pounds. All positioners are available in Aluminum housing (standard) but are offered in Stainless Steel and Titanium for maximum longevity in seawater. ROS positioners offer accuracy from +/- 1.5° to 0.1°. ROS AccuPositioner™ is ideal for Sonar applications where precise, computer- controlled accuracy is required. ROS positioners are available as single axis (pan rotation) and dual axis (pan & tilt rotation) configurations with numerous connector options.
