Vigo – Underway Profiling Winch

 Vigo – Underway Profiling Winch 

The Vigo profiling winch simplifies the task of repeatedly deploying a sound velocity profiler or other instrument , either from a moving or stationary vessel, eliminating the need for an operator to manually collect profiles from the rear deck. It can also be configured for use from unmanned surface vessels (USV’s). 

The winch control software allows profiles to be collected manually, when required, or automatically based on distance or time interval. It is a self-contained system, requiring only single phase 230v power, and a wired ethernet connection to operate. The winch incorporates several features designed to make its installation easier and its operation simpler and more reliable.
