DISCOVER WHO WE ARE

Astronomical Scientific Research

Precision for Knowledge and for Future Discovery

  • Professional astronomical research, such as astronomy and astrophyisics, is dependent on two critical factors: the total absence of induced vibrations and accurate tracking.

    For long-exposure imaging and data collection, mounts must be engineered for structural robustness and long-term reliability to ensure the high quality of collected data remains constant over time.

    Furthermore, a mount that supports research must be a versatile platform, ready to support varied instrumentation and tasks, from photometry to spectroscopy and complex cluster setups.

  • We offer a wide range of professional mounts to satisfy different payload requirements and instrument accommodation, providing the stability and precision required for research applications, often operating in extreme environments. Also, the easy setup and operability allow even smaller projects to get started quickly and get a good yield of results.

    HPS (High Precision and Speed) Line: Ideal for Altazimuth and Equatorial configurations with moderate payloads (e.g., 30 kg to 150 kg) . These mounts combine a proven, high-precision worm-to-wormwheel gear drive with ultra-high resolution absolute encoders.

    DDS (Direct Drive System) Line: This series is the indispensable platform for professional high-end research, with extreme payloads (e.g., 150 kg to 700kg). Also, the Direct Drive Motors technology eliminates the constraints of traditional gear-based systems and mechanical wear.

Application Scope Examples

  • Fully automated processing of projects such as supernova monitoring of galaxies, asteroid search, comet search

  • Exoplanet search and monitoring

  • Spectroscopic investigation of celestial objects
