Since its founding in 1985, Schilling Robotics has designed and manufactured remotely operated equipment for underwater environments. The company's initial products were remote manipulator systems. More than 20 years later, the company continues to specialize in the design, development, manufacture, and field service of remotely operated systems. Products now include electric and hydraulic work-class remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and subsea control systems that integrate control, communication, and actuation in underwater packaging. The Schilling Robotics staff specializes in the design, development, manufacture, and field service of remotely operated systems. Engineering specialties include control systems, equipment packaging for marine environments, high-pressure hydraulics, system-level design, system micro-miniaturization, high-speed digital electronics, communications, data acquisition, robotics, power transmission, and precision machining. The company has a comprehensive support system, and with the largest field service team of any ROV manufacturer, Schilling Robotics can support clients on site, 24
hours a day, with factory-trained technicians experienced in operations and technical support. Schilling's support system includes a 24-hour telephone hotline support by qualified technical staff; full spares and service support based in the U.S. and U.K., with manipulator spares and service also based in Norway; detailed technical manuals with full part lists, engineering drawings, and schematics; instant on-line access to up-to-date technical manuals and service bulletins; and a web-based customer feedback system. Privately-owned Schilling Robotics is headquartered in Davis, California, U.S.A., with regional offices in Aberdeen, U.K., and Houston, Texas. Technology Profile: Schilling Robotics produces the Remote Systems Engine (RSE), a set of modular equipment items for underwater propulsion, actuation, control, and communication. Standard products include a family of electric and hydraulic ROVs, an ROV simulator for training and mission planning, and four remote manipulator systems. All Schilling ROVs are based on RSE building blocks. The UHD is an ultraheavy-duty work-class ROV with power pack options of 150 and 200 hp. It produces an unmatched combination of vertical and horizontal thrust, and can direct full system power to tooling or propulsion as required. The EHD electric ROV, which delivers performance equivalent to a 100-hp system, offers speed, simplicity, small size, light weight, and exceptional capability. All Schilling ROVs use advanced intelligence for automatic control modes (heading, depth, altitude, attitude, StationKeep, and AutoTrack). Schilling's Digital Telemetry System (DTS) provides telemetry and power control for virtually any remotely operated system. It accommodates serial, video, and Ethernet data, allowing extremely flexible setup and control of cameras, lights, and instruments. The DTS is suited for any subsea (full-ocean depth) or hazardous environment. Schilling offers four standard telerobotic manipulator systems (TITAN 4, CONAN, ORION, and RigMaster) with a wide range of functions, sizes, lift capacities, and control systems. In the sevenfunction, titanium TITAN 4, all subsea electronics are inside the manipulator arm, which increases reliability, enhances troubleshooting, and decreases weight and spares requirements. Schilling also provides spare parts, maintenance/repair services, and operations/maintenance training for all of its products.
