Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Robo-Spider™ is an automated bolting system designed for deepwater drilling, offering a safer, faster, and more accurate bolt-tightening process. Developed in collaboration with Cameron for the Load King series riser, it aims to reduce drilling costs significantly.
System Design and Functionality
The Robo-Spider is the first fully-automated hydraulic torquing system capable of torquing an entire riser flange simultaneously, unlike traditional tools that handle one bolt at a time. It consists of six individual modules that operate both independently and in unison to ensure accurate and balanced preload with each turn.
Control and Operation
The system features a portable control panel with an easy-to-navigate touch screen, allowing for hands-free operation. This design enhances safety by keeping crew members away from the bolting area and allows them to focus on other tasks, improving overall efficiency.
Performance and Efficiency
The Robo-Spider can bolt all six bolts at once, significantly reducing bolting time. It ensures a perfect preload and achieves a bolt load accuracy of +/- 1.85%. The system is reliable in various weather conditions, maintaining performance in hot, cold, rainy, or rough sea environments.
Conclusion
The Robo-Spider is a proven, fast, safe, accurate, and dependable technology that enhances the efficiency of riser operations in deepwater drilling.

ROBO-SPIDER™-1

AUTOMATED BOLTING SYSTEM Deepwater drilling demands a safer, faster, and more accurate bolt-tightening environment. The patented Robo-Spider’s innovative and revolutionary design, which was developed with Cameron for the Load King series riser, delivers a flawless bolt-tightening performance that significantly reduces drilling costs in daily rig operations. The Robo-Spider is the first fully-automated hydraulic torquing system designed to torque an entire riser flange at once, taking the place of single riser tools that currently do one bolt at a time. It was designed to meet deepwater drilling demands and exceed industry expectations. There are six individual modules. Each module operates as a stand-alone unit, and at the same time, all the modules work in tandem to tighten each bolt with accurate and balanced preload with every turn.
