The XHX ROV R40 is a shore-powered, industrial-grade underwater vehicle for inspection, observation, and data collection. Rated for depths up to 350 meters, its open modular aluminum-alloy frame supports work in reservoirs, rivers, coastal areas, ports, and research sites.
Operational Highlights
01. Eight-Thruster Maneuvering
Eight T300S thrusters support forward, reverse, lateral, and vertical travel as well as turning, helping operators approach structures and maneuver in confined locations. Maximum forward speed is 2 m/s.
02. Continuous Shore Power
Power is supplied from shore through the umbilical rather than relying on onboard battery capacity. Cable lengths are available from 25 to 300 m; the cable has a stated working strength of 100 kg and breaking strength of 300 kg.
03. Low-Light Visual Inspection
The 1080p low-light camera provides a 110-degree horizontal viewing angle, 4x optical zoom, and adjustable pitch from -90 to +90 degrees. Adjustable LED lights are rated at 3,000 lumens per light for viewing submerged objects.
04. Live Monitoring and Assisted Control
QGroundControl (QGC) displays live video, vehicle status, and operating parameters. In addition to manual operation, the R40 supports auto depth keeping and auto course keeping.
05. Modular Mission Equipment
The frame can accommodate compatible optional equipment such as a 360-degree scanning sonar, multibeam sonar, altimeter, thermometer, and current meter. Users can configure the payload for underwater infrastructure inspection, research, archaeology, and reservoir or port surveys.
