NewSpace Lab
CD6
The CD6 is a technological innovation centre which operates in the field of Optical Engineering. The activity of CD6 is aimed at creating value through innovation.
Infrastructure/equipment
Mechanical workshop
Our mechanical workshop has expert staff and advanced machine tools, as well as optical and mechanical metrology tools for dimensional and optical quality control of the generated prototypes. Mechanical CAD design service.
Electronics workshop
Our electronics workshop has different tools used to programme various types of 8 and 16 bit microcontrollers, for firmware development for programmable devices such as CPLD, PIC and FPGA, tools for manufacturing PCBs in short runs, and instrumentation of the latest generation for its quality control (optical spectrum analyzers, digital oscilloscopes…) for the development of the electronic part of advanced prototypes. Custom electronic design services.
Prototyping room
Space of 60 m2 available immediately, and space of up to 200 m2 nearby to integrate, adjust and test experimental devices and prototypes designed and built at the centre or by third parties. It is located next to the workshops and contains all the necessary equipment for its full operation.
Advanced optomechanical design
Trained staff and with extensive experience in different optical and mechanical software packages and in their interrelationship in real prototypes that end up being built (OpticStudio, CodeV TracePro, ASAP, ANSYS, ProEngineer)
Photometry laboratories
Laboratory for control and characterisation of all types of light sources (UV to THz). Power meters, advanced polarimeters, spectrum meters, photometers, radiometers, supercontinuum lasers…
