T- DualScan StarBot 4300
I StarBot 4300 Similar to the StarBot 4200, the StarBot 4300 is a portable test system designed for antenna testing of aircrafts or vehicles in-situ. Improving upon its predecessor, in addition to the high measurement flexibility for radar testing in the nose of an aircraft, its full robotic system and 6 positioning axes enable it to measure antennas anywhere on an aircraft (or vehicle): top, bottom, nose, tail, wings, etc.

I StarBot 4300 The overall system is composed of: The base trolley The base trolley moves the scanner to the measurement area. It is mounted on four independent, directional wheels (A, B, C, D). Once in position, four jacks (K) lock the trolley to the ground. The telescopic arm The telescopic arm holds the spherical probe array and provides four independent movements. An azimuth table (E) ensures the rotation of the upper part of the trolley.
