Main related relevant activities/projects
Apart from the prototyping and development phases in projects of extreme complexity or precision, HTS
also leads industrial phases and long runs because of their group culture management tools (ERP /
MRP) and strong activity in sectors such as Aeronautics, Aerospace, Scientific, Medical, ... where each
area works with world leaders such as, Turbomeca, Messier Dowty, SNECMA, SENER, CERN, ESRF,
CEA, ...). This is essential in order to support large projects where needed documentation, plan
generation and ensure the robustness of the manufacturing processes in the technological limit, while
giving risk management solutions. In just over a year of existence, HTS has developed more than 15
projects. Among its customers is the CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research, the largest
research laboratory in the world of particle physics). The Drift Tubes of LINAC 4 (whose function is to
accelerate and focus the particles, will provide twice luminosity to the highest collider ever built, the LHC).
These drift tubes have been manufactured in the workshops of the Egile Group, including the
development of future accelerator structures for the CLIC project which leads HTS. In all cases, HTS has
been selected for its high quality in processes where greater precision is required. On the other hand,
sub-micron movers and phase shifters were designed and manufactured for the German accelerator
XFEL. These projects represented a different approach to institutions and companies.
Other Information
HTS has a select team, professionally well trained and motivated, composed mostly by industrial
engineers, aeronautical engineers and physicists highly skilled. Through the presentation of papers at
conferences and careful training of its engineers HTS is able to offer advanced design and development
with the common denominator of high precision. The high capacity for innovation along with engineering
capabilities makes HTS able to take on different challenges leading research projects, with different
partners worldwide and technology centers nationwide.
