Choosing an electric motor for an ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) or for a surface drone (USV) is a critical step for manufacturers in the autonomous robotics industry.
Today, a batch of RIM 1.5 thrusters is leaving our facilities in Brittany to be delivered to our partner.
This delivery marks a major milestone: the official launch of mass production for their fleet of underwater robots.
Strict specifications for deep-water operations
The requirements for this autonomous drone project were particularly high.
Extended surveillance missions require fail-safe equipment.
The RIM 1.5 was selected for its unique features:
- Propeller-less design: An integrated design that prevents entanglement with seaweed or marine debris.
- Complete acoustic silence: Thanks to a direct drive system, our solution guarantees absolute silence, which is essential for observation or defense missions.
- Unmatched reliability: A rugged design ideal for extended operations in deep water.
From custom design to production
The strength of our design office lies in our personalized support.
We didn't just supply a product; we worked closely with our client to ensure that the motor system was custom-tailored to their needs.
This synergy ensured the equipment’s energy efficiency, thereby facilitating the transition from an engineering prototype to full-scale industrial production.
French expertise in support of the Blue Economy
We are proud to see that French expertise in marine electric propulsion is being successfully exported.
The RIM 1.5 is now ready to be deployed on the next generation ofAUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles) and autonomous underwater systems around the world.
