iQsub manufacturing facility
iQsub manufactures all specific components for XCCR, FLEX2, BOVs, DSVs, GoPro housings
and another products in its manufacturing facility equipped with a number of CNC milling
machines, CNC lathes, a laser marker, a TIG welder, a sandblasting machine, a pressure
chamber up to 330m, electronics installation workshop, assembly and testing workshop.
All the parts are precisely manufactured using durable materials such as Delrin, stainless
steel AISI 316, Titanium, hard anodized AlMgSi alloy, chrome plated brass or naval brass.
The production process has a certified Quality Management System according to ISO
9001:2015. Suppliers of materials and commercial components are carefully selected to
guarantee the highest quality and reliability of supply.
iQsub has its own design studio where all parts are designed and modeled in 3D CAD
software SolidWorks. The data for production on CNC machines are generated in CAM
software, which guarantees repeatability and exact conformity of all manufactured parts.
A few facts about the origin and history of iQsub
The iQsub brand was founded in 2000, when we
started producing aluminum UW housings for Sony
and Canon video cameras, LCD video monitors as
well as underwater video lights.
In 2005, we finished a project prototype of our first
CCR (Close-Circuit-Rebreather) and produced the
first small series of CCR units, with Hammerhead
control electronics from Juergensen Marine Inc.
Then in 2006 we entered into an agreement with
Juergensen Marine Inc. to design a new
Hammerhead CCR.
At DEMA 2007 in Orlando, Golem Gear Inc. together
with Juergensen Marine and iQsub introduced the
new Hammerhead CCR to the public. After the DEMA
we began production of the Hammerhead CCR’s for
Juergensen Marine Inc.
In 2010 we finished development and started manufacturing and sales of the new compact
Shrimp BOV with unique ball valve and click-lock Bayonet connectors.
Golem Gear Inc. became a global distributor of our products.
At DEMA 2010, we presented the Hammerhead CCR
upgrade with the new name Hammerhead
Extreme, where we presented the removable
sensor cartridge and Shrimp BOV for the fist time.
In 2011, we designed our first underwater housing for the
GoPro HERO 2 camera with an operational depth of 150m.
Since then, we regularly come up with new models of these
very durable housings with guaranteed operational depths
of 150m and 300m. These were produced soon after the
launch of new GoPro HERO camera models.
These housings are popular worldwide for their design,
robustness and reliability.
the FLEX CCR, which was available either with Hammerhead electronics or in a manual
version with CMF orifice and Heads Up display (HUD).
At DEMA 2015, we presented completely new rebreather model, the first XCCR unit,
equipped with a CO2 sensor, digital high-pressure sensors and Polish control electronics.
In 2016, we made a major upgrade of the XCCR and
in agreement with Shearwater Research Inc. we
fitted the XCCR unit with Shearwater control and
monitoring electronics, the most advanced and
most user friendly CCR electronics worldwide.
Starting in 2017 we began selling XCCR units
worldwide.
In 2018, we obtained a CE certificate for XCCR from
DEKRA, a German notified body.
In 2017 we upgraded the FLEX to the FLEX2 with newly designed 3D Counterlungs and ADV
integrated into the upper canister.
In 2019, we made a major upgrade to the FLEX2, which now uses Shearwater control and
monitoring electronics.
In 2022, we developed the first side-mount Bail-Out Valve called the SM BOV Neo, which is
now supplied with the FLEX2 CCR.
And we continue with the development of next diving products ..
