Sub-Sea Proximity Sensor

Offshore drilling rigs, platforms, underwater piping systems, dam sluice gates and position sensing of any underwater equipment is one of the harshest environments on earth.

Dependability is number 1. It is very costly to send humans or equipment down to sub sea levels 500 plus feet below the sea's surface. The Soldo "Bolt" Proximity sensor is designed to withstand the sub sea environments to depths of up to 4000m.

The Bolt is constructed of T-316 stainless steel complete with a "Wet Mateable" undersea connector, and a powerful Neodymium Iron Boron target magnet, epoxy imbedded into a stainless steel bolt for activating the switch.
