Pedestals
ANTENNA PEDESTALS
- Serves to provide basic rotary motion of primary and secondary antenna of surveillance radars
- The rotary motion is provided by two gearboxes and electric motors
- Inside pedestal body holds a tank for oil designed to lubricate rollers of the bearing, its tooth system and drive pinions
- An electromagnetically actuated clutch installed between the motors and the gearboxes allows operation with one motor only
- Can be equipped with remote diagnostics & maintenance system
- In special version, the main bearing can be replaced without removal of the antenna
PEDESTAL DRIVE UNIT - CONTROL AND DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
- Suitable for antenna pedestal dual-drive with electromagnetically controlled clutches
- Ethernet communication interface
- Self-diagnostic function of Antenna control unit (ACU)
- Remote control of antenna pedestal dual-drive (start/stop, antenna rotation speed selection, PSR antenna polarisation control, weather channel switch control, waveguide air valve control, electric clutch control) from radar control and monitoring system (CMS)
- Provides immediate information and warnings to operating personnel
- Continuously monitors operation and condition of dual-drive pedestal
- Allows early detection of potential problems
- Prevents failures such as breakdown, overheating, oil leakage and other hazardous situations
- Improves radar performance and its operating efficiency
- Contributes to increased lifetime of radar mechanical parts
- Reduces maintenance costs by preventing unplanned maintenance events
PEDESTAL SIMULATORS - CONTROL AND DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
- Suitable for RAMET antenna pedestal dual-drive with electromagnetically controlled clutches
- Standard FW of ACU (Antenna Control Unit)
- Dual Ethernet communication interface
- Self-diagnostic function of Antenna control unit (ACU)
HW Pedestal Simulator
- Effecient CMS SW development using a HW Pedestal Simulator that replaces real pedestal
SW CMS Simulator
- Remote control + diagnostics of antenna pedestal dual-drive (start/stop, antenna rotation speed selection, PSR antenna polarisation control, weather channel switch control, waveguide air valve control, electric clutch control) using SW CMS Simulator (radar control and monitoring system)
