Quattro
Quattro is an ultra-compact 4-functions valve controller unit with 4 valves each capable of providing up to 22 lpm hydraulic flow, proportionally controlled over a serial line. The system is ideal for controlling hydraulic tooling, such as torque tools, inspection tools etc, and generally for increasing the capacity of any ROV or tooling system in a simple manner.
Description
The Quattro system is based on a compact, oil-filled, pressure compensated housing containing 4 off 4/3-way proportional valves. The pressure on two of the valves is controlled via an integrated proportional pressure reducing valve. Pressure is monitored via two pressure sensors, one measuring full system pressure and one measuring the reduced pressure.
This configuration provides 2 A and B ports with proportionally controlled flow and pressure, and 2 A and B ports with proportionally controlled flow at full pressure. All functions are controlled via RS232 or RS485 serial line. The system has spare IO to monitor external sensors such as torque sensors, and to operate external valve functions.
On the surface, all tool functions are controlled and monitored via a user-friendly software package. Other surface control options, such as dedicated software or hand-controllers are available.
