WTW-31-Pedestal

The WTW-31-Pedestal dual axis Pedestal is a high-precision positioner that we install as a pedestal for our larger antenna systems, such as the WTW-SX-31, or in a modified WTW-s-31-P that can be dismantled into modules.
Our customers also use this positioner for their own systems and install their own radar antennas, or varying HF attachments, e.g. for experimental research in the aerospace sector.WTW-31-Pedestal
