FEATURED PRODUCTS
Pneumatic Rotary Hammer
Model 2-2404-0010 pneumatic rotary hammer is ATEX certified. It uses SDS-plus solid carbide-tipped masonry drill bits up to 1 in. and SDS-plus carbide core drill bits up to 2.5 in., delivers 3,000 blows per minute and can be converted to straight rotary drilling with 625 RPM for steel or wood. It operates at 90 psi and uses 21 cu. ft. per minute of air volume. CS Unitec Inc.

Pressure Sensor
The PRECISE sensor features a silicon single-crystal structure to minimize errors due to thermal and mechanical hysteresis and prevent long-term drift. Its tubular design enables mechanical decoupling of sensing area and reduces error due to mounting stress, and the stable piezo-resistive Wheatstone resistor bridge measures pressure and temperature simultaneously on the same bridge. Presens AS.

Armor Kit for Patrol Boats
SPECTRA SHIELD® ballistic armor is now available in a do-it-yourself kit. These patented composites weigh 3.5 lbs. per sq. ft. and are weatherproof, non-metallic and almost invisible to radar. Ballistic Boats Inc.
Fluid Imaging Instrument
The Portable FlowCAM® provides the same continuous analysis and digital imaging of microscopic particles as the full-sized instrument in a travel size. It is mounted in a rugged, water-resistant housing and can operate on either 120/240 V or 12 V battery power. Fluid Imaging Technologies Inc.
Hyperbaric CO2 Sensor
This sensor combines small size, low power requirements and multiplexed digital communications for installation directly inside chambers and bells. RS485 communications make it possible to operate up to 32 sensors of various types on the same cable and to bring the digital information directly into a computerized logging system. Marisys Inc.
Hydraulic Thrusters
These thrusters have a rugged, lightweight construction and a ceramic shaft sealing system. They produce near equal forward/reverse efficiency within a 5 percent band and have the ability to fit any motor displacement size to any of the four thruster sizes due to the common, one-size motor/thruster interface. Sub-Atlantic.
Marine Data Fusion Software
New products in the Triton Perspective™ product line include a side scan and backscatter mosaicking package, map-based data fusion engine, underwater port security system, side scan image segmentation, pipeline tracking and free-span detection and an emergent collection of tools for mine countermeasures, hydrography, habitat mapping, marine archaeology and commercial survey markets. Triton Imaging Inc.
Data Loggers
The “S” family of TR-5 data loggers features portability, waterproof construction and a temperature range of -60° C to +150° C. They can log up to 16,000 readings from 1/sec. to 1/hr. and have a battery life of up to 4 years. TandD Corp.
High-Speed Extrusion Line
The in-house high-speed extrusion line for producing close-tolerance profiles from a broad range of thermoplastics and chlorinated polymers has been expanded. The 1,000 lbs./hr. line is also equipped to co-extrude glass microspheres with thermoplastic to manufacture syntactic foam for high-performance thermal insulation applications. Trelleborg Emerson and Cuming Inc.
Video-Intensive Motherboard
A new motherboard has been added to the Focal™ Model 907 fiber optic multiplexer. The 907V optically transmits 6 high-quality video channels over a single optical fiber. Typical uses are on ROVs and inspection robots. System diagnostics are available as onboard LEDs for video and optical link status and as an optional serial or Ethernet link to interface with the 907 diagnostics software package. Moog Components Group.
Marine Computer
The Reliant Core Duo features fanless design, dual-monitor/TV support and the speed of an Intel Core Duo processor. It has undergone SeaSafe marinization, a hardening process that consists of vibration dampening, a corrosion control process using VCIs and conformal circuit board coating. It also has a startup delay, remote power-up and shutdown and the voltage input range allows for operation with smart alternator regulators. AR Engineering.
ENC Production Software
Through a product creation wizard, S-57 Composer users can define parameters, import and manipulate source data, perform QC checks and then export an exchange set for desktop production of S-57 ENCs, AMLs and IENCs. Generation of MIOs and specialty products such as bathymetric ENCs will also be possible. CARIS.
Noise Reduction System
X-haust was developed primarily to bring the HP600 SCi and EU662 SCi sterndrive engine packages into compliance with EU RCD noise regulations, and it recently passed their noise emission standard. The muffler design flows exhaust through 2 separate chambers connected by 3 attenuator tubes before exiting through the outlet at the bottom. The transom-mounted muffler is completely submerged when the boat is at rest, and the muffler outlet directs exhaust down and back toward the transom to further reduce noise. Mercury Racing.
Free GIS Planning Tool
CCGIS Map™ is a free Gulf of Mexico GIS planning tool that provides users with online graphic visualization coordinates of the oil and gas infrastructure within U.S. Gulf federal waters. Platforms, wells, pipelines, NOAA obstructions, MMS blocks, lease areas, fairways and other relevant information are included. In addition, tropical weather systems are tracked so users can monitor storm paths relative to their structures and facilities. C & C Technologies Inc.
Engine Diagnostic Kit
EngineCheckUp is a one-step test that requires no tools. Applying a drop of warm oil to the kit’s test medium allows the detection of carbon, water, antifreeze, fuel and other damaging sediments. EngineCheckUp.
Marine DVR
The DVR Inspector is a replacement for the VCR in the ROV and commercial diving markets. It records either PAL or NTSC with audio, supports a variety of MPEG formats and bit rates and can capture stills in JPEG format. NETmc Marine Ltd.
