Heavy duty cable carrier systems for telescopes

We’ll get you the moon and the stars!

As old as mankind – looking up at the stars. So technologically advanced – looking (and listening) into the endless vastness of space. Only possible with specially developed telescopes. They are the result of intensive cooperation between research institutes and specialist companies.

We have many years of experience in this extremely demanding field between science and technology. Our cable carriers do a fantastic job in many different research institutes across the globe. Whether locking systems for giant domes or precisely aligning parabolic mirrors and optical telescopes through rotating and swiveling – our cable carriers smoothly move these applications containing such highly sensitive technology.

Projects

DKIST-Solar Telescope

Several steel and plastic cable carrier systems for the dome structure of the DKIST solar telescope.„It was a pleasure to work with TSUBAKI KABELSCHLEPP on this challenging project.

The KABELSCHLEPP® engineers designed a complete standalone system and ensured that the systems will function reliably in the telescope.“ – Gaizka Murga Llano, IDOM-Spain

Alfred-Jensch Telescope

Plastic cable carrier system for hose and cable supply for a new optical camera system.

„The entire planning and integration was characterised by competent and proactive work. We are very pleased with this solution“ – Johannes Winkler, TLS Tautenburg, Germany 

SHS 400t Crane

Heavy duty steel cable carrier installed on a ship. Ensures safe power supply with high pressure hoses. Installed on the North Sea Giant.

„The time frame was extremely tight and if I‘m honest we had doubts about whether KABELSCHLEPP® could really succeed – they showed us they could – a great performance.“ – Torgeir Haubekø, AXTech Norway

LSST Telescope

Several steel and plastic cable carrier systems for the TMA structure of the LSST telescope.

„The designers of the TMA and the Kabelschlepp® technicians collaborated closely during all phases of the project to ensure the correct interfaces between the different equipment. The final result was completely satisfactory and met all the requirements defined at the start of the project.“ – Manuel Perezagua Aguado, Empresarios Agrupados-Spain
