Aquajet launches new system to enhance hydrodemolition robots for onshore, offshore applications
Aquajet has introduced a new support system designed to enhance the capabilities and flexibility of Hydrodemolition robots in challenging environments. The system centers around the upgraded Aqua Spine 3.0, an extendable rail system that attaches easily to any surface, providing a stable platform for the Power Head to move along during operation.
The Ergo Climbers have also been upgraded to version 3.0, with new features that ensure seamless compatibility with the new system. To better support the Aqua Spine and Ergo Climbers, Aquajet created a customizable support system, providing more flexibility and adjustable setups for different projects.
This whole system is ideal for a variety of Hydrodemolition work and is compatible with both the Aqua Cutter 750V Hydrodemolition robot and Ergo system, Aquajet announced.
“We noticed a pain point where contractors are still using hand lances for jobs that can be accomplished more quickly with a Hydrodemolition robot, given the right setup," said Roger Simonsson, managing director of Aquajet. "To make it easier to deploy Hydrodemolition robots in even the toughest environments, we upgraded both the Aqua Spine and Ergo Climbers, and developed a fully customizable support system with adjustable legs, brackets and rotatable joints. This allows contractors to purchase a system tailored specifically to their project needs, ensuring the right configuration for each job."
The Aqua Spine 3.0 greatly expands range and flexibility for both onshore and offshore Hydrodemolition applications, excelling in both linear work ¬— such as structure walls and power plants — and circular applications like tunnels and pillars. New passable mounts/brackets, support legs, adapter plates and feet make up the Aqua Spine, providing users the option to build longer setups when needed, rather than having to repeatedly move a shorter setup along the removal area. Passable mounts allow the Power Head to seamlessly move from section to section without the need to stop and reposition. The upgraded version is also lighter than the previous Spine and can handle 60% more load and 50% more torque.
