Project: DEIMOS
Stage: Grating Slide
ID #: KDGS-001A
Engineer: J. Osborne


Mechanical Description of Stage:

Delivers one of four items: 3 gratings and one mirror.  Has a 200 pound counterweight moving on it's own linear stage.

Electronic Description of Stage:

Two fiducial schemes: Main (Bit 4) and Primary Reference Mark (PRM) (Bit 38).
Find the main fiducial edge, set position = 0. Drive to slider, find PRM and back off (X distance) to clamp position.

Required setting accuracy:

TBD but we assume about 0.006"

N.A.
   
  1. "Coarse" if from optical interupter, "Fine" if from an encoder index pulse. Home is defined as zero counts.
  2. Primary limits signal the controller to stop motion. Secondary limits cut motor power and require intervention to move out of them.

NOTES:

Mechanical Drawing(s) # D0920, D4100 and D4189

Electronic Drawing(s) #EL-3066

Sign conventions are such that a positive motion of the motor turns the motor in a CW direction as viewed from the drive shaft looking back into the motor, and will drive the stage towards the forward limit.

The Grating Slider stage uses Controller # 2, amplifier 2A and is connected to the D axis.
