ROSON for water depths up to 1,500 m


For water depths up to 1,500 m, three types of ROSON are available:

  • The compact ‘ROSON 50’ with a pushing force of 50 kN consisting of a single wheel drive.
  • The compact ‘ROSON 2 x 50’ with a pushing force of 100 kN consisting of two stacked wheel drives.
  • The ‘ROSON 100’ with a pushing force of 100 kN consisting of a single wheel drive.
  • The 'ROSON 2 x100' with a pushing force of 200 kN consisting of two stacked wheel drives.

The various ROSON systems come with an electric driven winch with self-tensioning for heave compensation. A CPT depth up to 50 m is feasible.  
Data communication from the ROSON to deck level is achieved by a powerline connection through the umbilical. This is realized by a transducer at both ends of the umbilical. These transducers, called Icone Powerline Adapters, convert the Icone signal to a powerline signal and vice versa.
