MECHANISMS

ARQUIMEA develops hinge- and spring-based deployment mechanisms with deployment detection. These are suitable to be used together with our HDRM solution for the deployment of solar panels, antennas and instruments.
We provide off-the-shelf solutions for solar arrays as well as custom designs for each specific application.
