HONPINE L Series Underwater Robotic Manipulator
● Introduction
Rated for 300 m depth, it uses servo drive and supports point-to-point and trajectory control, with teach, offline, and drag programming modes.
Built from lightweight materials, it weighs 24–45 kg in air and as low as 16 kg underwater (L10), reducing ROV load. It provides up to 10 N·m wrist torque and 2500 N gripping force (L40) for stable operation.
With an X86 controller supporting EtherCAT and CANopen, it enables dual-robot control and open API integration for inspection, assembly, cleaning, and cutting tasks.
Features
● Model Selection Flexibility
The L Series offers three models for flexible selection: L10 (10 kg / 800 mm), L20 (20 kg / 1000 mm), and L40 (40 kg / 1200 mm), covering a wide range of light to medium-duty underwater tasks.
● Significant Underwater Weight Reduction
The underwater weight reduction advantage is significant. Compared with air weight, the system becomes much lighter underwater (L10 as low as 16 kg), effectively improving endurance and operational capability of ROVs and subsea platforms.
● High Gripping Force Performance
The gripping force increases progressively across models, with 600 N (L10), 1500 N (L20), and 2500 N (L40). Combined with a 0–100 mm gripping range and 10 N·m wrist torque, the system ensures stable and reliable grasping performance in underwater environments.
● Full-Axis Motion Flexibility
The manipulator provides flexible motion capability with joint ranges of J1 ±30°, J2 ±45°, J3 ±60°, and J4 ±360°, while the J5 joint offers a 0–100 mm telescopic stroke, enabling multi-angle underwater operation.
● Intelligent Control System
The intelligent control platform is powered by an X86 quad-core controller, supporting EtherCAT/CANopen servo communication. It is compatible with teach, playback, and remote control modes, and supports multiple coordinate systems including joint, robot, tool, and user frames.
● Dual-Robot Collaboration & Open API
The system also supports dual-robot cooperative control, allowing two manipulators to operate synchronously with independent control and coordinated start-stop functions. An open API interface enables secondary development using C/C++/Python/LUA, allowing integration of customized underwater workflows.
● Offline Programming Compatibility
Offline programming is fully supported with compatibility for SprutCAM, Robotmaster, and RoboDK, significantly reducing on-site commissioning time.
● Deep-Sea Durability Design
Built for deep-sea durability, the system supports underwater operation up to 300 meters depth and uses corrosion-resistant high-strength materials to ensure long-term reliable performance in harsh subsea environments.
