Task:
A motion simulator is to be developed and built with which the optics in the satellite can be measured and calibrated with high precision.
Challenge:
The ECSS standard for cleanroom (ISO5) and vacuum operation (1x10e-6mbar) must be complied with.
CEMEC’s solution:
- Design based on the principle of the patented 6-axis parallel kinematic positioning system ROTAPOD
- Designed for operating temperatures from -40°C to +40°C with integrated encoder and motor heating.
- Repeatability 2 arcsec
- Gear ratio 1:252,000
Scope of services of CEMEC:
- Development 100% / In-house manufacturing 80%
- Conducting thermal and structural simulations
- Programming of proprietary software
Added value for the customer:
- High-precision, backlash-free mechanics including electronics and software from a single source
- Tests and validation by CEMEC according to ECSS standard
- Functional acceptance at CEMEC in the cleanroom
