Das größte Teleskop der Welt – metergroße Aluminiumteile mit einer Präzision im Mikrometerbereich
Im Jahr 2028 soll in Chile das größte optische Teleskop der Welt in Betrieb gehen: das Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) mit einem Spiegeldurchmesser von 39 Metern. Es wird Planeten untersuchen und ferne Galaxien so detailliert abbilden wie nie zuvor. NOVA leitet ein internationales Konsortium, das eines der ersten Instrumente baut, die an diesem Teleskop angebracht werden. Die Fertigung dieser massiven astronomischen Instrumente erfordert die Herstellung großer Aluminiumteile mit außerordentlicher Präzision im Mikrometerbereich. NOVA stellte schnell fest, dass ihre bestehende Fräsmaschine für diese Anforderungen nicht mehr ausreichte. „Die Bauteile, die wir bisher produziert haben, waren um einiges kleiner als die Instrumente, die wir für das ELT fertigen mussten. Aus diesem Grund haben…
