The DBW-6 is A.G.O. Environmental Electronics’ new flagship multipurpose winch model.  Its versatile frame can be outfitted with the majority of common drivetrain and drum combinations required for a wide range of applications, especially side scan sonar surveying. It features a sturdy bolt-together aluminum plate-and-bar frame that makes it much lighter compared to similarly sized steel-frame winches.  Its fully enclosed frame helps meet common equipment safety requirements, and like all A.G.O. electric winches, it includes features for emergency manual hand cranking to recover payloads in power-loss events.

Up to 300m of 0.322” (8.2mm) A320327 armoured coax cable

Custom Winches

In addition to our standard winches, we can make modifications to our existing winch designs or design completely custom winches for specific applications. 

The EWC-6 Electronic Wire Counter unit is a simple, handheld, splash-proof wire payout display unit for use with A.G.O.’s matching magnetically-encoded sheaves, pulleys, and wheels.

It connects to encoded wheels via a cable and can be connected to a computer for data output or calibration for use with different cable sizes.  

It is a standalone system that can be used with any winch.

It is also an up/down wire counter with both automatic and manual direction control functions and displays distance and speed. The electronics are mounted in a compact splash-resistant box. The length of cable out is displayed on line one of a two line LCD, with count up to +/- 5000 meters / 5000 feet*. The user can set the measurement unit to m or ft by connecting the EWC-6 to a computer and following its simple instructions in its manual.

Kordil KD300 specially designed and manufactured for subsea surveying and mapping projects. The system is the mechanism that controls the deployment and recovery of the side scan sonar towfish. It typically consists of a motor-driven winch connected to a cable or tow line, which allows the sensor to be lowered to the desired depth and towed at a consistent distance from the seafloor. The winch system also enables precise control over the speed and direction of the towfish, ensuring accurate data collection.
