The Panther-XT is a 1500m rated vehicle with six 500 Volt DC thrusters providing full three-dimensional control and capable of carrying out a wide range of tasks including drill support, pipeline survey, IRM, and salvage.
The Panther-XT is available as a free swimmer or is used in conjunction with a Tether Management System (TMS) and an A Frame Launch and Recovery system (LARS). Surface Equipment is available as either free-standing units or integrated into a control cabin.
A variety of tooling options, six thrusters and a small deck footprint make the Panther-XT a good alternative to costly hydraulic vehicles.
Designed with a range of survey and tooling options.
A light work vehicle proven in demanding conditions during inspection and repair tasks, pipeline survey, salvage and drill support operations.
Surface Power Supply Unit and Surface Control Unit supplied as free standing units or fitted inside an air conditioned control container. An additional tooling power supply option is available.
Surface Equipment includes Hand Control Unit, keyboard and two colour monitors. An additional hand control unit is available for systems fitted with a manipulator skid.
Cabin Junction Box for connections between the surface and subsea. Includes Fibre Optic MUX console with video, and data connections. Additional MUX options available.
Available as a free swimming ROV or in conjunction with a Type 8 Tether Management System (TMS) for depths up to 1500 m.
ROV rated to 1500 m fitted with four horizontal thrusters and two vertical thrusters supplied with 500 Volts DC, two electronics pods, four LED lights, up to four high resolution cameras, a depth sensor and a solid state compass (located inside the main electronics pod) for vehicle auto heading and auto depth. Auto altitude is available as an option when an altimeter is fitted. An additional vertical thruster is available for increased vertical thrust.
