Umbilical cord winch for a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) system
Abstract
The umbilical cord winch for a remotely operated vehicle system is presented. The winch is non-typical as the umbilical cord used to the ROV system is the cable-line comprising, apart from electric cables, a co-axial optical fibre bundle. The optical fibres were assumed not to have any movable connector, which made it necessary to design a special winding mechanism fitted inside the winch drum. The design was elaborated by a team of the Faculty of Ocean Engineering and Ship Technology, Technical University of Gdansk.
