Flying Lead Orientation Tool (FLOT)
The FLOT provides a robust platform to support ROV “fly-to-place” stab-plate installations and valve override operations. The FLOT frame is combined with a Fugro-impROV Class 1-4 Torque Tool and is controlled by hydraulic supply from the TTCS.
The FLOT provides a means of securely mounting the TT to the ROV and gives the operator the ability to orientate the TT and payload with respect to the ROV. It consists of an anodized Aluminium base frame, a rotary actuator which provides 90° tilt up and down and a cylinder which provides 15° roll CW and CCW. The FLOT is capable of carrying an additional payload of 250 kg on top of the weight of the TT. The FLOT’s movements are hydraulically locked in position unless a command to move them is issued.
