CESA is at the SPIE Astronomical Telescopes and Instrumentation 2016 fair taking place in Edinburgh from the 28th – 29th June at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre. It is the most prestigious event not only for developers of terrestrial and space telescopes but also for developers of technologies and instrumentation.
At this event, which brings together numerous international companies and institutions, CESA is participating alongside other Spanish businesses and organisations in the Spanish pavilion co-ordinated by ICEX (Stand 101).
CESA, who aim to provide information on their participation in Astronomical Observation, are exhibiting a fastening structure for the hexagonal segments of the E-ELT telescope´s primary mirror (M1), for which it has carried out a detailed, conceptual design, the manufacturing, the assembly and the testing of three support prototypes for the primary mirror. Added to this structure is an EMA (Electro-mechanical actuator), for which CESA has carried out a detailed, conceptual design, the manufacturing, the assembly and the testing, with nanometric precision, of three prototypes for the purpose of the orientation and positioning of the segments.
