New "Innomar compact " and "Innomar smart " SBP generations

2021-March-04

In March 2021 the first unit of the new "Innomar compact" SBP generation has been commissioned. The topside unit dimensions are 33% smaller and the weight is reduced by 20% compared to the previous generation. From now on the "Innomar smart" SBP model comes in a rugged housing (IP65). This reduces the weight by 30% and no extra transport case is required, which saves shipping costs due to 55% less transport volume and nearly 60% less gross weight. Transducers have not been changed with both models. As with the other new SBP generations, the term "SES-2000" has been removed from the model name.

 

Season's Greetings / New Year 2021

2020-Dec-11

We thank all our partners and clients for the good cooperation during the last years and wish all of you a beautiful season and a pleasent and successful year 2021. Stay safe and healthy throughout the season holidays and the upcoming year.

New "Innomar standard " SBP generations

2020-Dec-11

In December 2020 the first unit of the latest "Innomar standard" SBP generation has been commissioned. Due to the more than 20% smaller topside unit transportation and mob/demob is easier and the new generatiomn also features 24-bit data recording. As with the new "Innomar medium-xx " SBP generations, the term "SES-2000" has been removed from the model name.

 

New "Innomar medium-xx " SBP generations

2020-Oct-06

After launching a new Innomar medium-70 SBP generation in July 2020, the first three systems of the latest Innomar medium-100 SBP generation have been delivered in September. The new topside units of both models have signifacantly reduced dimensions and weights compared to the previous generation. Thus transportation and handling during mob/demob is much easier. Starting with these two models, the term "SES-2000" will be no part of the SBP model name any more.

2013-April-11

Thanks to all visitors of Innomar's stand at "Ocean Business 2013". We a got much positive feedback and could discuss many new projects. There were also many attendees at our classromm sessions to get first-hand information on our products.

INNOMAR showed new product features and improved SES-2000 sub-bottom profilers:

• Our re-designed "SES-2000 ROV" model is much smaller and the weight is about 50% of the previous version which results in easier handling during mob/demob.
• The new "SES-2000 medium" model with the primary frequency shifted to about 70kHz will produce less acoustic interference with MBES.
• For the ISE post-processing software some new features including a new GIS module was shown.
