 SeaBotix
manufactures a TMS for deep water deployment of the LBV systems.
The
core of the TMS is the garage for the LBV, containment
system for the umbilical, umbilical drive mechanism
and LBV retention system. Depending on the application
the TMS can be mounted in a variety of configurations:
- Surface deployed
- Work Class ROV
- Manned Submersible
 Should
the TMS be deployed from a manned submersible the electronics
can be housed within the vessel. Deployed from the
surface or from a WCROV there is an optional integration
bottle housing the necessary electronics. Also, a
protective cage is available for WCROV or surface deployment.
The
umbilical is driven through a sleeve into a rotating
tube placing the umbilical in the containment basket.
An oil-compensated worm gear motor powers the sleeve.
When the LBV is in the protective
garage there is a clamping mechanism to retain the
LBV.
Operation of the TMS is
through a small controller at the surface with line
in, line out, latched or unlatched controls.
