The main functions of the “Optical Bench Assembly“ (OBA) is to hold scientific instruments in proper and stable position to the correct work of the telescope mounted in the satellite Herschel Space Observatory. The OBA, made of aluminium 6058, is a part of big dimensions with ultra thin walls. It will work at extreme low temperaturas (close to the absolut zero). Sener engineering team has been the responsable for the design, manufacturing and testing of this component. One of the processes performed to the OBA is a termal cycling between room temperature and -170ºC. Thanks to the collaboration of Cryobest, as they did not find any company in Europe to perform it, this process could be done successfully and flawlessly in Cryobest facilities.
This new edition of ‘Cumbre Industrial y Tecnológica’ takes place for its first time in the new exhibition centre BEC in Bilbao. With the support of the Chamber of Commerce of Alava, Cryobest International also initiates the participation as exhibitor in this kind of events. It was an excellent opportunity of showing the benefits and last applications for its multistage cryogenic treatment.
