Optical Tube Assembly
Quality…… Innovation…… Performance…… it’s the AG Optical Systems way
Optical Tube Assembly
AG Optical Systems Imaging Dall Kirkham, Convergent Series, and Imaging Harmer Wynne carbon fiber truss optical tube assemblies make extensive use of carbon fiber composite materials, CNC-machined components, and precision collimation adjustments to provide a rigid and thermally stable platform for the low expansion optics. Three cooling fans speed the cooling of the primary mirror while primary and secondary mirror anti-dew heaters can be automatically controlled by the optional Thermal Control System (TCS).
Details such as the use of stainless steel fasteners, washers, and springs along with professionally anodized 6061 aluminum components ensure that each AG Optical Systems telescope will look as good as new year after year.
