Manipulator Arm Controller
In partnership with J2 Subsea Ltd., we can now offer the complete Atlas 7 function manipulator arm, fully integrated with a dedicated proportional iVP with associated control system software.
The proportional valves provide accurate and smooth control of the hydraulic functions without the need for external fixed flow throttles. Typically, all functions use centre-closed spool valves of type NG3 WDPFA03-ACB-S, with the exception of the Jaws which use centre-open type WDPFA03-ADB-V. Four functions also feature load-holding pilot operated check valves of type BDERV3.
