PANTHER PLUS ~ Work/Observation ROV System
Seaeye Panther Plus is a development of the Seaeye Panther in response to a requirement for greater power, payload, more interfaces and a work class ROV capability excluding heavy construction work.
Forward thrust has been doubled to an impressive 220 kg with lateral thrust increased from 85 kg to 170 kg
with a relatively small increase of the vehicle's in air weight to 500 kg. Payload has been increased to 105 kg.
These improved performance figures translate into handling characteristics that pilots report as being 'simply
spectacular.
Visually, the distinguishing feature of the Seaeye Panther Plus is the additional 4 vectored SM5 brushless DC thrusters making a total of 8 vectored thrusters in pairs. The ROV frame has been slightly enlarged to accommodate these thrusters, improve through frame water flow and provide space for a 12 function hydraulic valve pack for tooling and manipulator applications.
A particular benefit of the 'Plus' configuration of pairs of vectored thrusters and two vertical thrusters is the level of redundancy available. The power for the thrusters is split into two channels with each channel providing DC to one vertical thruster and 4 of the 8 horizontal thrusters. If a fault should develop on one channel it can be isolated allowing operations to continue at half power. If there is a failure in only one horizontal thruster the effect on vehicle performance and control will be barely noticeable.
