Complete ROV/Crawler solutionwith powerful multi-surfaceattractor.

The LBC represents never before seen technology in such a compact package.An integrated solution providing versatility through ROV or Crawler operations. Based on the proven LBV small ROV and combined with a patented Vortexattractor and powerful drive mechanism the LBC can operate in 3D or 2D greatly simplifying search operations.

Where conditions permit the LBC operates much the same as its counterpartLBV with two powerful forward thrusters and two vertical. The core of the LBCis that of the LBV with such features as 270º field of view, auto functions, videooverlay, small diameter umbilical and multiple high resolution cameras. Freefly the LBC to the desired location for close inspection.

Should stability be compromised due to adverse conditions the LBC can be attached to the target surface. By simply maneuvering close to the desired location and rolling the LBC the patented Vortex attractor can adhere the LBC to virtually any surface. Once attached the LBC is driven by four powerful motor/gearbox combinations reducing a 3D proposition to only 2D. Navigate to the object of interest for close inspection or conduct a full survey with ease.

Unique to the LBC is the highly efficient a small form factor Vortex Attractor. The small attractor has animpressive amount of attraction (23kgf) resulting inthe ability to attach to virtually any surface. Controlledfrom the hand controller the attractor has variablepower settings depending on conditions and desiredattraction.

The LBC is controlled by the same intuitive hand controller as the LBV.Once attached to the desired surface the drive mechanism isengaged. Aside from the standard LBV controls operators canalter attraction and drive speed. An odometer is displayed whenin crawler mode.

Add a variety of options like acoustic imaging sonar and positioningto outfit LBC to each application. Just the beginning.
