  Leading subsea engineering company OceanTools have released a range of electric pan & tilt units suitable for a wide variety of underwater applications and budgets.
The rugged PT330 units have been designed for harsh environments and are suitable for long-term deployments. With three versions available: Mini, Heavy Duty and Echoscope Kit (ESK) for CodaOctopus Echoscope sonar applications, all variants are 3000MSW depth rated and pressure compensated. The PT330 range is available in both hard-anodised aluminium and stainless-steel.
- Mini, Heavy Duty & ESK Variants
- 3000m standard depth rating
- Load range 10-25kg
Exceptionally well-engineered, the PT330 range are manufactured using extremely high quality components including low back-lash harmonic drives, brushless DC motors and heavy duty bearings on the output shafts. The PT330s have a load capacity range of 10-30kg, allowing the mounting of the heaviest of camera & light configurations and sonars. Camera and sonar applications are aided by the unit’s ability to operate in the horizontal and vertical axis simultaneously enabling smooth footage capture and reduced sonar smear.
- Pans and tilts simultaneously
- Low back-lash harmonic drives
- Highly innovative graphical user interface
Controlled via PC or laptop, OceanTools SmartNET P&T, cameras and LED lighting controller software presents a highly innovative and simple to use graphical user interface that gives the operator an exceptionally controlled and intuitive experience. With on screen high accuracy positional feedback, the operator can command and display parameters such as go-to-a-position, limit end-stops, return to home, control pan & tilt angular rate and multiple user labelled saved positions. Operations are enhanced by a range of selectable view screens including directional button, press & go and cat & mouse control of the unit – innovative is the word!
- High accuracy positional feedback
- Telemetry or voltage control
- Daisy chain multiple P&Ts, cameras and LED lights
The PT330s are controlled by telemetry or optional direct voltage. Multiple PT330s can be connected to a single twisted pair and single 24VDC power supply and controlled via the SmartNET protocol. Illuminate the target or floodlight the whole work space by daisy chaining up to 16 OceanTools high intensity OceanLED lights together. Through SmartNET, isolate or group them together while adjusting the dimmable LED lights to suit the operation.
The PT330s are complimented by the SP330 range of high- performance subsea positioning devices. The single axis movement units offer either rotate or tilt positioning and are engineered to the same core technical specifications as the PT330 series.
