ROV & AUV Testing Tanks and Underwater Robotics Test Systems

Factory Fish Tanks fabricates custom immersion tanks and underwater observation systems for robotics developers, marine technology companies, research laboratories, and subsea equipment manufacturers. Our tanks are designed around equipment dimensions, operating depth, camera positioning, instrumentation, and testing access.

Products and project requirements

Underwater robotics testing requires a tank configuration suited to the equipment and test procedure. ROV and AUV dimensions, maneuvering clearance, water depth, instrumentation, plumbing, and observation requirements are established before fabrication. Ordinary immersion tanks and elevated-pressure vessels are different engineering applications.

Rov And Auv Immersion Tanks

Custom tanks provide controlled water environments for underwater robot testing, buoyancy checks, maneuverability evaluation, and prototype development. Tank dimensions and access openings are designed around the vehicle and testing equipment.

Acrylic Observation Windows

Acrylic viewing panels allow engineers to observe underwater vehicles, cameras, sensors, and equipment during testing. Viewing geometry, panel dimensions, supports, and optical requirements are coordinated with the test setup.

Engineering And Fabrication

We coordinate tank fabrication, structural analysis where applicable, acrylic panel engineering, plumbing interfaces, equipment access, and installation. Elevated-pressure applications require a separately defined pressure-vessel engineering scope and validation requirements. We do not imply pressure ratings or certifications without project-specific verification.
