RBRglissando underway profiling winch

The RBRglissandoย underway winch enables automated free-fall profiling with instrument payloads up to 20kg. A configurable line speed up to 10m/s allows for operation while steaming normally without slowing down.

This fully-automated system is designed for vessels with an existing A-frame or boom, and three-phase power supplies. The compact design is easy to install and occupies minimal deck space. The RBRglissandoย is controlled by the RBR software, Ruskin, offering wireless downloads after each profile and integration of ship and winch data.
