7 Function Work Class Manipulator
HLK-40500R
The HLK 40500 R 7 Function Manipulator has been developed to meet the requirements of the new medium range of work class ROVs.
The simplicity of the design and ease of use make it a cost effective choice for manipulator operations. The ability to regulate speed on the rate control system enables greater precision over movement.
5 Function Manipulator
HLK-40400
The HLK 40400 is a 'back hoe' style 5 function H.D. Manipulator designed to complement the modern range of 7 function arms found on work class ROVs.
It features a double upper arm linkage which ensures compact storage and enables an upper arm range which can work for below the ROV to points close to the standard badge bar.
Manipulator Camera Conversion - HLK-2010C
The HLK-2010 can readily be converted to a camera platform for fitting to any HLK manipulator. This conversion can be carried out on site without any change of hydraulic hoses. As with the jaw assemblies, the standard finish position of the camera pan platform is adjustable on the clamp mount. Weight 3Kg in water./p>
Camera Boom - HLK-EH5C
Based on the HLK-EH5 arm this has the Jaw Assembly Conversion HLK-2010C fitted. The booms, used in pairs, can be mounted upside down to enable pipe- lines of up to 30" diameter to be surveyed with full camera control, and the ability to stow away for vehicle recovery. The same standard control system can be used as with the manipulator arm control.
Camera Boom - HLK-4600
The HLK-4600 is a rugged Camera Boom Arm designed to inspect 36" diameter pipeline. Constructed from predominantly plastic and stainless steel, these arms can be operated from Hydro-Lek's standard Hydraulic system and can be fitted to any ROV.
Camera Boom
HLK-4600PT
The HLK-4600 is a rugged Camera Boom Arm incorporating HLK 2150 pan & tilt designed to inspect 36" diameter pipeline. Constructed from predominantly plastic and stainless steel, these arms can be operated from Hydro-Lek's standard Hydraulic system and can be fitted to any ROV.
Camera Boom with Mini Pan & Tilt
HLK-46000
The HLK-46000 is a compact Camera Boom, lighter in weight than the HLK 4600 and suitable for mounting on smaller ROVs. The main limb comprises two sections operated from one hydraulic cylinder and is capable of measuring around one metre of pipeline.
6 Function Manipulator Arm
HLK-47000
The HLK-47000 is a 6 function manipulator designed with the intention of collection and recovery of delicate materials and live sea life specimens. The collection is achieved using the HLK-24000, a picking device consisting of a radial arrangement of 10 finger pairs. The system consists of a 90° slew of a parallelogram arm for vertical lift, attached to the end of this is a dexterous arm providing a 180° rotate and 2 additional bend functions.
The HLK-47000 arm with HLK-24000 finger type picker has been designed with a degree of interchangeable tooling in mind, allowing task specific tools of similar dimensions to be fitted.
