Manipulator systems
Deploying thousands of reliable manipulator systems
Our Schilling Robotics legacy brand delivered its first manipulator system in 1986. Since then, we have delivered more than 3,000 systems. Our manipulators are deployed on nearly every work-class ROV in the world as well as other submersibles, including electric ROV's, and research and exploration submarines.
The Schilling Robotics manipulators perform a variety of intervention tasks. These systems are controlled remotely from the surface and range from the rugged five-function RigMaster™ to the seven-function, position-controlled TITAN 4™. Additional manipulator systems include the CONAN™, ORION™ and ATLAS™.
As subsea intervention tasks increase in complexity, our manipulator systems will continue to be at the forefront, providing the dexterity, strength and reliability to perform intricate tasks under water.

Schilling Robotics Manipulator Lease Program
The Schilling Robotics manipulator lease program conveniently allows customers to select a desired manipulator for a specific job at the cost of a day rate and offers flexibility for scheduled and unscheduled maintenance without committing to the full cost and required long-term maintenance of equipment.
Schilling Robotics manipulators are the highest quality systems on the market for their dexterity and strength needed to withstand
the industry’s harshest conditions day after day.
The TITAN 4 is widely regarded as the world’s premier servo-hydraulic remote manipulator system. Since 1987, these systems have been the industry standard for dexterous manipulator systems used in a wide
range of subsea applications.
