LBC - Options

The LBC on its own offers a highly capable inspection system. Furthering the capability SeaBotix offers a variety of options such as zoom camera, imaging sonar, object avoidance sonar, positioning system, laser scaling and more. Customize the LBC to suit your exact requirements.

Tritech Micron Scanning Sonar
The LBC can be supplied with the impressive Tritech Micron DST scanning sonar. With a 360 degree scan, 75 meter range and the latest CHIRP technology the Micron provides the operator or navigator with a powerful object avoidance, identification sonar. Image quality is excellent and the incredibly small form factor doesn't affect the performance of the LBC. A cost effective, yet capable sonar for varying applications.

BlueView ProViewer 2D Imaging Sonar
To enhance visual acquisition and identification in less than perfect conditions and also wider range the LBC can be fitted with an acoustic imaging sonar.  For the recent trials a BlueView ProViewer was installed on top of the LBC.  The ProViewer is a small, powerful and fast acoustic imaging sonar that operates at 900 kHz.  With a 50º field of view and 1.5º - 15º beam width the ProViewer provides a high resolution image from 1.5m to 150m (5ft to 500ft).  When mounted to the LBC at a slight down angle a 3m (10ft) wide image with incredible detail was displayed on the ProViewer software.

Color Zoom Camera
The LBC can be fitted with an internal color zoom camera. With a 10x optical zoom the camera is able to provide detailed close up images from a distance. The key however to the use of the zoom camera are adequate operational conditions. A special multifaceted view port is added to the LBC to optically correct the image providing accurate image shape.

Laser Scaling
The LBC can be fitted with a pair of lasers that track with the primary camera. Set at 50mm apart the lasers project a pair of dots that can be used to estimate size.

Remote Spares Kit
The LBC is very robust and rugged, however, it is designed to operate in a harsh and unpredictable environment. A comprehensive spares kit that includes such components as electronic boards is essential to mission critical operations. This remote location kit is suited to operations that require onsite total serviceability and situations where spares acquisition is not realistic. Never under value spares.
