| The Pipe-Tracker Retractor Frame/TSS 440 retractor frame design allows an ROV to retract a pipe-tracker to a vertical position. This facilitates easier launch and recovery.
The lightweight but robust design ensures the customer that no additional buoyancy is required when operating the TSS 440 ROV mounted frame. The retractable pipe tracker frame consists of two arms slid into two mounting brackets. Those mounting brackets are then mounted on to the side of the ROV. The TSS 440 retractor frame is supplied with a hydraulic control panel. However, some ROVs will not require this. A custom hydraulics control panel synchronises the cylinders, to ensure that the up and down motion of each side stays level. A kit is provided to enable the use of 50 x 50mm2 square cross-section glass reinforced plastic (GRP), which does not suffer from bending as much as the standard acetyl rectangular section material normally supplied with pipe tracker systems. |
