Seaway Powell Marine, a company producing deck equipment, custom engineering solutions and electro-mechanical actuation, announced a successful week at Seawork International 2014. “With our best presence yet, there was a huge amount of interest in both the PT USA V Series Actuator and the Hypac Automatic Windlass,” the company said.
The PT USA V Series Actuator is an actuator platform for linear motion control, now being built at the Seaway Powell manufacturing facility in Shaftesbury, Dorset. The V Series Actuators can be retro-fitted or installed as part of a new mechanical system. When combined with modern servo motors and controls, electro-mechanical actuation provides nearly infinite programmability, reduced setup times and improved control of speed, acceleration, deceleration, force and position. The company reports a large and growing list of applications for its actuators.
Also showcased at Seawork International 2014 was a new Automatic Windlass. Originally designed and manufactured by sister company Australian based Hypac, the Automatic Windlass forms part of a range of lightweight deck gear, and features an automatic brake for remote operation from the wheel house or pendant control, leaving the foredeck clear for loading systems and cargo. Designed for under deck installation, the windlass provides fast haul in to raise the anchor quickly and efficiently, and a creep speed for anchor stowage to protect the vessels’ hull from damage.
