Project context:
THALES ALENIA SPACE is the leading satellite manufacturer in Europe.
A satellite that was sent to space cannot be repaired if needed while in air. This is why it is crucial that each product has zero defects.
Customer request:
To meet the quality requirements of satellite manufacturing, and particularly during the assembling process, THALES requested a system composed of two hexapods allowing operators during the mirror assembling part.
In this system, the first hexapod realizes mirror positionings, and the second hexapod realizes, in real time, position measurements with extreme accuracy.
Project specificities:
- Double hexapod
- 1 µm resolution
