Here’s what makes our hearts race! DÉGRA gave us the exciting task of engineering an electric motor for a special application at GEOxyz. This application is focused on researching and mapping the seabed.
The customized brake motor from Cantoni Motor S.A. is designed to pull a 1.5-kilometer-long coaxial cable through the sea via a winch drum, with an analysis tool at the end to examine the seabed.
The encoder is specifically tuned to the drum diameter and the speed of the boat. The combination of these three elements ensures that the cable can be smoothly reeled in and out (cable tension). The specially applied encoder provides feedback to the control system and frequency converter, allowing the cable to be evenly deployed and retrieved, adapted to the conditions. This is crucial to prevent the cable from snapping.
Since this application requires various speeds, the motor may sometimes run fast and other times slower. When the motor runs slower than usual, standard cooling is insufficient. External cooling provides the solution in such cases, ensuring that the electric motor remains cooled regardless of speed.
Finally, the electric motor is painted in the customer-specific RAL color red and coated with the highly durable and waterproof Kolmer Top Coating. This coating penetrates through the paint layer, preventing rust and peeling. This is not a luxury at sea, exposed to seawater and extreme weather conditions. Consequently, the electric motor is guaranteed to last four times longer.
