Forum Energy Technologies ( FET ) announces the launch of the XLX EVO III , an advanced work-class ROV designed to maximize performance in subsea operations. This remotely operated vehicle ( ROV ) integrates innovations in propulsion, buoyancy and payload capacity, setting a new standard in the industry.
FET’s new XLX EVO III ROV
This ROV features larger thrusters that optimize performance in the water, ensuring more stable and efficient operation. In addition, its design allows for greater buoyancy to carry up to 500 kg of payload. It also integrates a new CNC-machined frame, which facilitates access for maintenance and improves tool integration.
In addition, it incorporates the ICE Unity control software, which allows the vehicle to be operated remotely with greater precision and safety . The pilot seats and consoles have also been updated to improve ergonomics and control of the unit. With an increased lifting capacity of 4000 kg, the XLX EVO III exceeds its predecessor by more than 30%.
The ROV was manufactured at FET’s Kirkbymoorside facility in the UK and is available to order worldwide. The company, based in Houston, Texas, is strengthening its commitment to the offshore sector by offering innovative solutions for energy exploration and production.
