HONPINE X Series High-Precision Underwater Robotic Manipulator
● Introduction
The system achieves up to ±0.05 mm repeatability (X5/X10) and ±0.2 mm (X18/X25), placing it among the most precise heavy-duty underwater robotic arms. Rated for 300 m depth, it uses servo motors, supports position control, and enables master-slave teleoperation with flexible control interfaces.
Built from lightweight high-strength materials, it weighs 23–82 kg in air and as low as 9 kg underwater (X5), significantly reducing ROV load. It combines precision, reach, and payload capacity for offshore applications such as pipeline alignment, valve operation, cable installation, and structural maintenance.
Features
● Flexible Multi-Model Configuration
The series includes four models for different operational needs: X5 (5 kg / 750 mm), X10 (10 kg / 1500 mm), X18 (18 kg / 1000 mm), and X25 (25 kg / 1500 mm). This configuration covers a wide range from lightweight high-precision tasks to heavy-load large-reach underwater operations.
● Industry-Leading Precision Performance
The system achieves a maximum repeatability of ±0.05 mm (X5/X10), while X18/X25 deliver ±0.2 mm precision, maintaining top-tier accuracy among underwater heavy-duty robotic manipulators. This enables reliable performance in precision docking, valve control, and other high-demand subsea tasks.
● Significant Underwater Weight Reduction
Underwater weight is dramatically reduced compared to air weight, with the X5 model weighing only 9 kg underwater. This greatly improves ROV endurance and enhances operational efficiency in long-duration subsea missions.
● Full-Range Motion Capability
Each joint provides a wide motion range, including J1/J2 ±175°, J3 ±160°, J4/J5 ±175°, and J6 continuous ±360° rotation. Combined with a 6-DOF architecture, the system ensures full multi-angle coverage with no operational blind spots.
● High Dynamic Response Performance
The system delivers excellent motion responsiveness, with joint speeds up to 180°/s (X5) and 100–180°/s (X10/X18/X25), balancing precision control with efficient operation in complex underwater environments.
● Intelligent Control System Compatibility
The system supports position control mode and is compatible with master-slave teleoperation systems and multiple communication protocols, enabling flexible integration for both scientific research and industrial subsea operations.
● Deep-Sea Durability Design
Rated for up to 300 meters underwater operation, the system is built with high-strength corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring long-term reliability and stable performance in harsh deep-sea environments.
