Project: DEIMOS
Stage: Grating stage clamp
ID #: KDGS-002A
Engineer: J. Osborne


Mechanical Description of Stage:

This stage is an integral part of the Grating Slide Stage (KDGS-001A) but complex enough to call it a stage.  It takes a rotator and clamps it to the support structure. All work air cylinder mechanisms.

Electronic Description of Stage:

See Drawings #El-3066 and #EL-3082

** Very important! Very difficult to achieve goals here.
  1. "Coarse" if from optical interrupter, "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 Drawings: #D0931, D4090, D4102, D4109, D4412, D4415, D4450 and D4924.

Electronic Drawings: #EL-3066, EL-3082.

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.
