Since a long time Lidio Poian & C. is working on “ExoMars project” for Selex Galileo S.p.A. (Nerviano) and now, in addition to the “Drill Tool”, wins the contract for the production of the “Sliding Carriage and Rod Magazine Clamps”, the drilling, locking and storing mechanism of the Martian ground specimens, studied by Tecnomare S.p.A. and installed on the rover.
In detail, the mechanism will perforate the Martian ground till a maximum deep of two meters and will provide a first specimens analisys. A special control software will reduce to the minimum the human intervent.
Components are characterized by elaborate geometries which request to use last generation machines tool. The global complexity and the small dimensions of components cause that every part is decisive for the final functioning. Cause of this, the strict tolerances need a particular carefulness of each machining step and a continuous dimensional control on the components.
A new important goal for “LP” that, with this last commission , will realize all parts of the aboard mechanisms assigned to Italy from the European Space Agency (ESA).
Lidio Poian contributes to victory Aprilia Racing and Max Biaggi in World Superbike Championship 2010.
Triumph of the “made in Italy” on the top step of the podium World Superbike: title riders Max Biaggi and Aprilia Racing for manufacturers. The triumph of the Noale team was olso the success of all Italian companies that have engaged in this ambitious project, and between these, even Lidio Poian that for many years worked with the motorcycle company sharing enthusiasm, passion and technology.
The high grade of the production technology and quality of Lidio Poian has brought to the collabration with Selex Galileo S.p.A – space division, for the construction of prototypes for ESA (European Space Agency) “Exo Mars” project.
EXOMARS is the first mission of ESA program AURORA to enter into definitive project phase. The ExoMars mission consists of development and launch of a vehicle able to reach Mars. The “Descent Module” will contain a robotic Rover specifically designed to explore the Martian surface, English production, and “Drill tool” capable of testing the weaters to a depth of 2 meters, realized in Italy by Selex Galileo. The Rover will travel to points of interest where it will carry out analysis of the rocks and terrain.
