Bowtech Products

Teledyne Bowtech specialises in the design, manufacture and supply of underwater vision systems for harsh environments. Its range covers video inspection systems, underwater cameras and underwater LED lights, together with xenon underwater emergency relocation strobes and pan and tilts for aiming and positioning that equipment. Alongside the optical hardware the company supplies the interconnect components such systems depend on: custom moulded cable assemblies, underwater electrical and fibre-optic connectors, fibre-optic multiplexers and slip rings. All of it is built for use in hazardous areas or subsea, and the company states that its equipment is intended to work at any ocean depth. The systems are deployed across a broad set of industries. The company names ROV and AUV operations, oil and gas, defense, oceanographic work, nuclear, leisure and marine science as the sectors where its vision equipment is used, so the same underlying camera, lighting and connector technology is applied to routine subsea inspection from remotely operated vehicles, to survey and research work, and to inspection inside nuclear facilities. Its approach is presented as consultative. The company says it prides itself on listening to its customers to ascertain their requirements, and that its fully trained team of electrical and mechanical engineers and technicians provides technical support across the entire product range as well as innovative design solutions, which points to a combination of catalogue supply and engineered-to-order work. Quality, environmental and safety credentials are stated directly: Teledyne Bowtech is accredited to the ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 management system standards. The business is headquartered in the United Kingdom, with a UK office at ABZ Business Park on International Avenue in Dyce, Aberdeen, Scotland, and further offices in Denmark, the United States, the Netherlands, Germany and Shanghai, and it says representatives are available to help customers around the world. It is one of the Teledyne Marine brands and sits within the Teledyne imaging group alongside Teledyne RESON, Teledyne Odom Hydrographic and Teledyne Blueview, with the imaging headquarters at Teledyne RESON A/S in Slangerup, Denmark and further European sites in Rotterdam and Bremen, a United States office in Daytona Beach, Florida, and a Shanghai office in China. Any of those locations can support any of the imaging brands. Sales and product enquiries are handled separately from service and support requests, and the company publishes Teledyne general terms and conditions of sale covering customer orders.
