Overview

Our Integrated Single Axis Rotator (4G ISAR) units operate as an integrated solution within the CodaOctopus^® Underwater Survey Explorer (USE) software application. The software integration of the rotator unit with the Echoscope^® eliminates the need for multiple patch testing during mapping and inspection tasks. All angular and positional offsets are dynamically calculated within the software for accurate and simple operation.

Incorporating high-torque motors, low-backlash gearboxes, and high precision encoders as standard, capable of station holding the 3D sonar systems in hydro-dynamic environments, the units deliver a maximum of 94-newton meter torque. Enclosed in rugged aluminum or stainless-steel housings, the units are designed for operation to depths of 500 meters or 3000 meters. The 4G ISAR is supplied with either a surface vessel pack incorporating a deck Power Supply Unit and 20 meter cable and mounting bracket or as an ROV pack with a 5 meter whip cable, deck test cable, and mounting bracket.

The 4G ISAR can also be supplied with a stand-alone application for control of the unit out-with Coda Octopus software. The data o/p messaging allows for user-defined update rates when moving for angular position and the data command protocol and message o/p format is very simple and can be via serial or Ethernet for integration with different software packages.
