Webtool announces RROV cutting tools

09.02.2021
The subsea industry’s leading manufacturer of ROV cutting tools, Webtool, is now offering long-term deployment RROV (Resident ROV) tools. Designed for up to 120 days continuous deployment, the tools are supplied with custom RROV interfaces allowing the easy storage, activation and recharging of the hydraulic cutters.





Webtool RROV hydraulic cutters can be tailored to suit any size and are commonly used for cutting steel wire rope, guide wire, fibre rope, umbilical, electrical cable, hoses and tubing during installation, repair and maintenance (IRM) tasks. Once activated the hydraulic cutter provides a clean cut in seconds. For the RROV tools, the core cutting mechanism features a custom interface to suit the RROV’s storage and operation requirements. This includes interfaces for the manipulator arm, RROV or subsea storage and hydraulic connections.

Recent investments in CAD / CAM software enable Webtool to offer a seamless development of RROV cutting tool interfaces. Manufactured from durable and lightweight materials, the tools are corrosion resistant and can be used at any water depth. In addition to standard cutting tools, Webtool is able to supply tools for RROV special applications.

“We have already developed our first suite of cutting tools for a leading work-class RROV manufacturer,” says Keith Elliot, managing director, Allspeeds. “The cutters are being used for deepwater intervention projects at 4000m for up to 120 days.”
