10Micron is a division of Comec that designs and manufactures robotic mounts for astronomical telescopes and tracking systems for satellites and other aerospace applicationsAn astronomical telescope is a complex machine, composed of optical, mechanical and electronic parts. 10micron designs and manufactures complete mechanical and electronic parts (denominated mounts) for astronomical telescopes and for satellites tracking systems.
The mount performs several key functions in a telescope, such as pointing and tracking astronomical objects, or satellites, which require a very high precision (approximately a few arcseconds for pointing and less than an arcsecond for tracking); the mount’s software musts solve many astronomical problems, compensates for setup inaccuracy and has to be totally reliable, often in extreme situations and environments
The 10micron mounts features a top level mechanical quality and exclusive and highly innovative electronic and software solutions.
All the components are manufactured at Comec facility, except for some parts (eg. Electronic components and finishing treatments) made by Italian companies carefully selected.
Thanks to almost fifty years of experience in the field of precision mechanics and the Company’s strong renewal in recent years, 10micron is now a leading brand in this scientific field, highly skilled and highly demanding of technical requirements.
Universities, professional observers, research institutions, amateurs all over the world have chosen the 10micron products for their extreme quality, reliability and innovation.
