VideoRay

Single Axis Manipulator

The VideoRay Manipulator Arm easily attaches to the VideoRay Pro 4 skid’s existing holes and lifts objects from underwater. Heavy objects can be retrieved by using the tether of the ROV. Using the hand controller or control panel, you can open and close the jaws to a two-inch distance to retrieve items in confined or hazardous locations. The VideoRay ROV’s camera focuses on the manipulator arm to provide a close view of the operation. When not needed, the manipulator arm can be easily removed in seconds. The Pro 4 manipulator arms are delivered with a manipulator clamp assembly that will attach to existing Pro 4 skids. It can be used in conjunction with most other VideoRay attachments such as Imaging and Scanning Sonar and positioning systems and is available for VideoRay Pro 3, Pro 4 ROV, and Mission Specialist systems
