SYMÉTRIE is a major French hexapod manufacturer SYMÉTRIE selected RESOLUTE for two hexapod solutions designed for component validation testing in the manufacture of ESA’s Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) weather satellites. Real-life applications “ “ We chose Renishaw’s RESOLUTE absolute encoders because of their high level of metrology performance. These absolute encoders work reliably in high vacuum conditions. Moreover, the encoder scale is made of low expansion ZeroMet material, which makes our hexapods less sensitive to temperature variations. Thermal stability was a critical requirement for these space optics projects

RESOLUTE basic principles Readhead sensor is analogous to a digital camera Image of scale is taken by readhead Raw data extracted from image and processed Error checking algorithm extrapolates the next reading and compares with actual for enhanced safety
