Our scope focuses on ensuring high-precision tracking and pointing performance during observation activities, interfacing dedicated real-time control systems with the automation infrastructure provided by Cimolai and Danieli Automation.The project includes the dynamic simulation of the controlled structure, enabling design and numerical optimization of advanced motion control algorithms, their deployment on a real-time computer that will perform the control tasks, on-site performance optimization and testing until final commissioning. All these aims aimed at guaranteeing stable and reliable telescope operations under dynamic load conditions. <br>We are currently testing a large axis prototype aimed to reproduce, on a smaller scale, most of the control peculiarities of the actual telescope axes.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2383f4f e-con-full reveal-up e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"2383f4f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f76e09f e-con e-atomic-element e-flexbox-base e-default-div e-f76e09f-ac31a03 \" data-id=\"f76e09f\" data-element_type=\"e-flexbox\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-interaction-id=\"f76e09f\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-id=\"f76e09f\">\n    \t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bfdafbc elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-widget elementor-widget-n-carousel\" data-id=\"bfdafbc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;carousel_items&quot;:[{&quot;slide_title&quot;:&quot;Slide #1&quot;,&quot;_id&quot;:&quot;ca16ffe&quot;}],&quot;slides_to_show&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;slides_to_show_tablet&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;slides_to_scroll&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;slides_to_scroll_tablet&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;slides_to_scroll_mobile&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;slides_to_show_mobile&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500,&quot;offset_sides&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;arrows&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;image_spacing_custom&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;image_spacing_custom_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;image_spacing_custom_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"nested-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-n-carousel swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Carousel\" dir=\"ltr\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-wrapper\" aria-live=\"off\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" data-slide=\"1\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"1 of 1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58d4fed e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"58d4fed\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"e-image-base e-default-img e-4f5d9b8-3fc940e\" data-interaction-id=\"4f5d9b8\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"4f5d9b8\" id=\"37285\" src=\"https:\/\/microgate.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/ELTAxis_header.webp\" width=\"1920\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/microgate.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/ELTAxis_header.webp 1920w, https:\/\/microgate.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/ELTAxis_header-300x141.webp 300w, https:\/\/microgate.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/ELTAxis_header-1024x480.webp 1024w, https:\/\/microgate.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/ELTAxis_header-768x360.webp 768w, https:\/\/microgate.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/ELTAxis_header-1536x720.webp 1536w\" alt=\"\"\/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All Projects Project specifications Main Scope Developed by Project completion Control focus Control architecture Operational environment Current phase Application field First light Status: Control system design completed, prototype testing in progress Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
