The Panther-XT Plus is a 1000m rated vehicle fitted with ten 500 Volt DC thrusters - eight horizontal and two vertical - with the option of a third vertical thruster, providing the Panther-XT Plus with exceptional handling and speeds of up to 3.5 knots.
The high-powered Panther-XT Plus accommodates two Schilling Orion manipulators plus a wide range of sensors and heavy duty tooling skids, making it ideal for tasks that include drill support, pipeline survey, IRM, and salvage.
The system is available as a free swimmer or 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.
With ten powerful thrusters and a high payload, the Panther-XT Plus has exceptional handling and a speed of 3.5 knots while still maintaining a small footprint.
Designed to carry a range of survey and heavy duty tooling options, which are fitted within the vehicle.
Renowned for an excellent record as a light work and survey vehicle working in shallow water high current conditions.
Two Surface Power Supply Units and a Surface Control Unit supplied as free standing units or fitted inside an air conditioned control container.
Surface Equipment includes Hand Control Unit, keyboard and two colour monitors. Additional hand control units are included with ROVs fitted with a manipulator system.
Cabin Junction Box for connections between the surface and subsea.
Fibre Optic MUX with Video, Serial Data and Ethernet interfaces. 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 1000 m.
ROV rated to 1000m fitted with eight horizontal thrusters and two vertical thrusters supplied with 500 Volts DC. ROV is fitted with two electronics pods; a main and an auxiliary. The main pod provides interfaces for Thrusters, LED lights, multiple cameras, a depth sensor and a solid state compass (located inside the main electronics pod), supporting vehicle auto heading and auto depth. Auto altitude is available as an option when an altimeter is fitted.
Deployment options include an electric winch for free swimming ROV or an A Frame Launch and Recovery System (LARS) for ROVs equipped with a TMS.
