Paper Abstract
JPCam is designed to perform the Javalambre-PAU Astrophysical Survey (J-PAS), a photometric survey of the northern
sky with the new JST telescope being constructed in the Observatorio Astrofísico of Javalambre in Spain by CEFCA
(Centro de Estudios de Física del Cosmos de Aragón).
SENER has been responsible for the design, manufacturing, verification and delivery of the JPCam Actuator System
that will be installed between the Telescope and the cryogenic Camera Subsystem. The main function is to control the
instrument position to guarantee the image quality required during observations in all field of view and compensate
deformations produced by gravity and temperature changes.
The paper summarizes the main aspects of the hexapod design and earliest information related of integration and
performances tests results.
