OceanWorks International Contracted to Deliver Additional Seafloor Nodes to Harris CapRock Communications
OceanWorks International has been contracted by Harris CapRock Communications (HCC) to supply a spare node base and two node pods in support of the ongoing operation and maintenance of CSnet International's Offshore Communications Backbone (OCB) system.
Burnaby, BC October 23, 2012
The OCB subsea infrastructure, including five seafloor nodes which form the existing seafloor observatory portion of the system, was originally designed by OceanWorks International and delivered to Harris Caprock Communications (HCC). The system was deployed in 3000m of water in the Mediterranean Sea during the fall of 2010 and is now providing scientists with real time data from sensor installations covering several hundred kilometers of the seafloor. Each of the five original nodes has a recoverable pod containing electronics which can be easily serviced and upgraded throughout the system's planned deployment life of 25 years.
"OceanWorks International has been a solid and dependable partner throughout the OCB project. Their continuous support has been a key to our success," said David Pfosi from Harris CapRock Communications.
"We truly value our long term working relationship with Harris CapRock Communications," said Mr. Rod Stanley, CEO of OceanWorks International.

Schmalz Technology Development - The Right Gripper for Every Task
In order to interact with their environment and perform the tasks, lightweight robots, like all industrial robots, depend on tools - and in many cases these are vacuum grippers. These form the interface to the workpiece and are therefore a decisive part of the overall system. With their help, the robots can pick up, move, position, process, sort, stack and deposit a wide variety of goods and components. Vacuum gripping systems allow particularly gentle handling of workpieces, a compact and space-saving system design and gripping from above. Precisely because the object does not have to be gripped, the vacuum suction cupenables gapless positioning next to each other.
