Bravo for Falcon

State-of-the-art manipulators adds to Falcon tooling

The Saab Seaeye Falcon ROV is the most successful underwater electric robotic system of its class and is proven in numerous intricate and demanding missions across many commercial, security and scientific sectors. A key feature of the Falcon capability is the wide range of options, tooling and accessories developed over many years for demanding customer applications.

Adding to the Falcon tooling options, Sydney-based robotics start-up, Blueprint Laboratories, has integrated their Reach Bravo manipulator into the Falcon. The Reach Bravo is a range of tough, electric subsea manipulators changing the remote operations landscape for inspection class vehicles. With high accuracy (0.1°) joint positioning and intuitive control options, the Reach Bravo system is a must for operators in the new era of close inspection work and complex intervention.

Reach Bravo is a highly versatile system, enabling customers to select from a single-function grabber or tilt the unit up to the Bravo 7, the flagship seven-function manipulator in the Bravo range. Reach Bravo is designed using a break-through, patented joint design. This technology allows for compact drive mechanisms and minimal pressure seals, reducing the risk of leakage and protecting individual modules in the manipulator system.

To date, dexterous manipulators were reserved for work-class vehicles. Now, there is an opportunity for OEMs and service providers to re-write what inspection class vehicles like the Seaeye Falcon can do and change up the subsea intervention and inspection landscape.
