Kerr Panel Manufacturing is proud to have worked with the astrophysics team at the California Institute of Technology to manufacture the optical bench assembly for the Keck Cosmic Web Imager. This honeycomb and steel panel was used as part of a new facility instrument for the Keck II telescope, located at the W.M. Keck Observatory, one of the most influential ground based observatories operating today. The test is performed using a Com-Ten simple analog pull tester designed to test loads of up to 1000 lbs.
