Description
Manufactured from high-strength steel, the Acoustic Tow Line Positioning Grapnel is suitable for use in harsh subsea environments. The design incorporates a pivot point, ensuring that even if the grapnel flips over, the beacon remains oriented towards the surface and maintains communication.
The grapnel is compatible with a range of subsea beacons, including Sonardyne, iXblue, and Applied Acoustics, allowing it to meet client requirements regardless of the preferred system.
Customers looking to measure rotation and inclination can have a data logger fitted.
