HISTORY ROV CABLE CUTTER
HLK-33900 Big Brother of HLK-33800 Both designed to run at 140 Bar
- While an ROV is deployed underwater and performing intervention and maintenance work it may be required to cut or make free items that are being fouled by trawler fishing net cables and such like.
- Weight is a serious consideration and has cost implications with deeper depth and the floatation material used.
- Mission statement requirement: A cutter light in weight, no more than 10Kg (HLK-33800) able to give a long life before a blade changes, cut hard and soft materials. Powered by 140 Bar hydraulic pressure.
- We investigated a number of cutters with a view to adapt or modify them to our purpose. Could we use someone else's ??. The cutter would need to be able to cut hardened steel and thick diameter nylon cables.
- Hard cables pushed cutter life while nylon would jam between the blades and trap the action.
- We did a lot of research and trials, what works what does not. All the cutters on the market had good and bad points, we ended up making our own. The HLK 33900 was born and the ROV CABLE CUTTER was developed
HLK33900 FIRST 4 EVER.
