ECA Group has developed a core sampler recovery system for light duty ROVs depth rated at 1000m.

The core sampling system is mounted on a compact skid composed of a lightweight five function electric manipulator arm and a six compartment telescopic receiver protected under a polycarbonate cover, and buoyancy blocks.

The 800 ROV is equipped with a seven function telemetry unit which, beyond the arm control, has two spare functions dedicated to the compartment drawer extension and withdrawal movements.

This solution is designed to fit the needs of research institutes and underwater inspection service providers to perform operations in the field of oceanography, hydrography and aquaculture.

The system offers support to carry out tasks such as sediment recovery, coral sampling, flora and fauna sample and small objects recovery.
