MobiWinch is an innovative system supporting deep sea research work
on the seafloor
in a water depth of up to 10,000 m. It is best suitable for the marine
geo-sciences, e.g. guiding of heavy sampling devices, launching and
recovering of deep-sea long-term measuring stations.
MobiWinch is a compact designed system, so the transport is not that
expensive and a world-wide operation is possible.
Since the cable drums are exchangeable for the various cable types,
MobiWinch may be used for complex and difficult commercial applications,
e.g. deep-sea search and recovery operations, inspections of under
water ways etc.
The containerization of MobiWinch for a standard 20-feet
container frame enables the operation of simple to difficult cable
or rope guided detection or sampling devices on ships, which are
normaly not equipped with winches.
TV-sledge, deep-sea roboter, ROV’s (remotely operated vehicles),
video-monitored and board controlled net and ground grabs may be
transported as payload by MobiWinch.
The cable drums
are exchangeable so that cables of different diameter and length can
be used, e.g. coax cable, multi-line cable, fibre-optical cable.
The electric drive guarantees exact device guide and silent operation.
