Underwater, or subsea, robotics are making sea exploration more accessible. Hadal exploration systems are needed to withstand the extremely high pressure conditions in these environments. Celera Motion’s Ingenia DC supplied motor controllers are designed with the latest pressure tolerant technology and are optimal for ROVs and submersibles that require flexibility, efficiency, and a battery power supply.

The Challenge

Underwater, or subsea, robotics are making sea exploration more accessible. Hadal exploration systems are devices that can operate in the full depths of the ocean, where the electronics have to withstand a 140 MPa pressure condition while maintaining excellent performance and precision motion accuracy. This extreme pressure is very challenging because if specifications are not met, it can lead to implosion of the electronic components and ultimately stopping device operation.

Celera Motion’s Ingenia DC supplied motor controllers provide the best integration for ROVs and submersibles that require flexibility, efficiency, and a battery power supply.

Examples of subsea applications where servo drive technology has been used includes:

  • Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs)
  • Submersible Vehicles
  • Thruster Integrated Drivers
  • Subsea Actuators

The Solution

Celera Motion’s Ingenia servo drives provide turnkey motion control solutions for underwater applications. These servo drives and motor controls have been designed for thrusters, robotic manipulators, and pan and tilt systems that are used on several marine and subsea solutions, including ROV thruster control and integrated controllers for thruster manufacturers. Experience optimized, best-in-class, sensorless field oriented control, with predictive models and the latest pressure tolerant technology.

The Benefit

Celera Motion’s Ingenia servo drives offer sensorless control, minimizing interferences. Configure PWM frequencies up to 200kHz for controlling low inductance motors – increasing servo drive efficiency, responsiveness and performance. Custom servo drives and motor controllers that are DC supplied can be designed to meet your specification needs, providing supply voltages of 10 to 400 VDC. These are the servo drives you need for operational excellence in hadal exploration applications.
