For the first time, the Sener Engineering and Technology Group is taking part at Farnborough Air Show at pavilion 3, stand D3.
During the show, Sener presents its global capabilities as a supplier of equipment, system integration and engineering services in the markets of space, defence, and aeronautics and vehicles, and an important focus point is its electromechanical actuation and control systems.
As such, among the projects presented at the fair are various actuators with applications in space, aeronautics and defence, featuring a rotary actuator, which is part of a wide range of rotary positioning systems specifically designed for space applications. These represent evolutionary progress coming from Sener’s experience in this field. Currently, missions such as SENTINEL-1, SENTINEL-2 and GAIA all use SENER actuators. This can also be seen in the GAIA satellite’s M2M alignment device, developed by Sener. Another actuator featured in the presentation is one developed by Turbomeca and used in helicopter motors. Furthermore, a FAS (Fin Actuation Subsystem) model is exhibited that is a subsystem of the METEOR defence programme, for which Sener is in charge of design finalisation, development and mass production. The FAS is the subsystem responsible for the controlled movements of the missile's fins, which guide it on the required trajectory. All of these are examples of the extensive catalogue of actuators developed by Sener, which visitors are able to learn about in a brochure to be distributed at the stand.
In addition, results from other contracts are displayed: In space, the deployable sunshield used by the above-mentioned GAIA satellite and the PROBA-3 mission; in defence, the actuator subsystems for the TAURUS KEPD350 and IRIS-T AA missile programmes; and in aeronautics, the modernisation programme of the Agusta Bell 212 (AB212) helicopters for the Spanish Navy, extending their operational life by at least 15 years, as well as the turnkey production and assembly lines of aerostructures.
With almost 50 years of experience in the aerospace sector, the company is internationally renowned and is a prime contractor for complete systems both in space — where it has supplied more than 260 devices and systems successfully launched in satellites and space vehicles of agencies from the US (NASA), Europe (ESA), Japan (JAXA), and Russia (Roscomos) — and in defence Sener carries out the production of complete series in actuation and control systems for missiles, developing Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) systems and optical systems for ISR-related technology, and guarantees the maintenance for the entire useful life of the product.
Sener is a private engineering and technology group founded in 1956, which seeks to offer its clients the most advanced technological solutions and which enjoys international recognition, thanks to its independence and its commitment to innovation and quality. Sener has more than 5,500 professionals at its centres in Algeria, Argentina, Brazil, South Korea, Chile, China, Colombia, the United Arab Emirates, Spain, United States, India, Japan, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, and the UK. The group has an operating revenue of €1.218 billion (2013 figures).
