Automatic Distance Lock
The Distance Lock module is specifically designed for Deep Trekker’s REVOLUTION and PIVOT ROVs, enabling the vehicles to maintain a consistent inspection distance from vertical and near-vertical surfaces such as ship hulls, dams and sea walls without the need for manual repositioning. The lightweight and easy-to-install sensor provides locking ranges from 0.5 to 10 meters, and works at depths of down to 300 meters.
The externally-mounted module operates at a 500kHz CHIRP frequency, and is designed to reduce fatigue and allow operators to focus on the core mission objectives. It is ideal for a variety of applications where consistent proximity to a surface is critical, including:
- Hydroelectric dam and nuclear facility inspections
- Sea wall and ship hull inspections
- Civil engineering and infrastructure
