HSP winch High Speed Power winch for offshore purposes Deliverables • Rapid deployment of measurement systems up to 2000 m • Employment of multiple sensors simultaneously • Real-time data transfer • Maintains altitude automatically • Real-time interface with on-board PC’s The High Speed Power winch has been developed for the fast deployment and retrieval of various sensors in deep waters. The functionality of the winch benefi ts from the integration of the dedicated Stema Systems software that allows the winch to maintain altitude above the sea/lake fl oor of the sensors that it is towing. The altitude maintenance functionality has been proven to provide an added safety margin in the deployment of sensors such as a Side Scan Sonar as well as providing consistency of results in the deployment of magnetometers, both needing a consistent altitude for optimal functioning. The High Speed Power winch is designed such that it can rapidly deploy multiple sensors simultaneously up to a depth of 2000 meters. The winch can be operated with Rheotune software or with Stema dedicated winch software enabling fully automated measurement cycles, which can be displayed on the interface screen on deck. Among the parameters that can be set are: the maximum speed over ground (SOG), speed to lower the sensor, measurement speed. The lowering of the probe can be stopped automatically using various stopping criteria set in the winch software or by manual operation. The latter is enabled by a handheld near the winch and a additonal handheld located on the bridge of the ship.
