The suction foot can hold an ROV to smooth surfaces such as ship hulls, submarines, platform tubulars and pipelines. The high level of grip makes it suitable for a wide range of inspection and cleaning ROV tasks.
The foot has a flexible polyurethane moulded cup, tolerant of marine growth and crustaceans, and able to attach to curved surfaces down to 400mm (16in) diameter. The cup is abrasion and tear resistant.
