Winch Design
Modern oceanographic research is complex, and the costs of operating marine survey
and research vessels are escalating rapidly. Therefore, research instrumentation
and ancillary equipment must be carefully selected to be applicable to as wide a
variety of tasks as possible and to accomplish these tasks quickly with high reliability.
Pursuant to this philosophy, InterOcean systems designs and manufactures a variety
of standard and custom made wire rope and electrical cable winches. Standard models
fill needs from light duty, small boat operations to heavy duty shipboard winch
applications. Choosing one of the standard models has the advantage of prompt delivery.
Prices are also minimized due to production quantities.
Application engineers may be consulted, and modifications made to standard designs,
or a special winch may be designed. A unique computer program performs the many
calculations needed and optimizes the design.
This process keeps engineering and design costs to a minimum, and tailors the special
design and selection of components to utilize standard components and sub-assemblies
as much as possible. Therefore, you don't pay a premium price for one of these custom
designed and fabricated winches.
