LCM4823 Tension Monitoring of Telescope Vanes
An international astronomical observatory is manufacturing a new instrument called WEAVE for the William Herschel Telescope (WHT) that incorporates wireless load pins developed by LCM Systems. The WHT is operated on behalf of the UK Science and�Technology Facilities Council (STFC), the Dutch Nederlanse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO), and the Spanish Instituto de Astrof�sica de Canarias (IAC). There is a requirement for remote monitoring of the tensile forces in the telescope vanes. The wireless load pins are part of the assembly that determines preload�force to ensure the positional alignment and accuracy of the approximately 4 tonne WEAVE optical corrector. This new multi-object survey spectrograph will allow astronomers to take optical spectra of up to 1000 stars and galaxies in a single exposure (currently only 150 objects can be observed simultaneously).
