The same motion control technology available to Applied Motion Products.
The FAST dish is 500 metres (1,600 feet) in diameter, covering the same area as around 30 football pitches. As a result its size allows it to intercept signals that other radio telescopes will miss including radio waves from other places.
The same technology that drives FAST in China is available to Applied Motion customers everywhere. Initiated in 1994, is a key national scientific and technological infrastructure project in China for instance.
Spherical Reflector
The FAST’s main spherical reflector its composed of thousands of panels. Its observation sensitivity will be 10 times more powerful than the 100-meter aperture steerable radio telescope in Germany. The observatory’s size means that it can detect extremely faint radio-wave whispers from an array of sources across the Universe. Could be spinning cores of dead stars, known as pulsars, and hydrogen in distant galaxies. It will also explore a frontier in radioastronomy . This is possible because using radio allow waves to locate exoplanets, which may harbour extraterrestrial life.
Its overall capacity will also be 10 times larger than what is now the world’s largest (300 m) Arecibo radio telescope developed by the United States, according to Nan Rendong, the chief scientist of the project and an NAO researcher.
Outdoor applications in mountainous areas such as this are a huge challenge to the motor and drive components as they are exposed to temperature extremes and moisture buildup, both of which combine to cause internal corrosion that can quickly shorten the product’s life.
Patented technology from our parent company, Moons Industries, along with exceptional custom design capacity and world-class manufacturing capabilities enable these step motors and drives to beat the harsh environment and deliver stable, precise performance as a critical motion control component in the system.
