New Inchworm type Actuator with I/Q heterodyne Interferometer Feedback for a Long Stroke Precision Stage
نویسندگان
چکیده
The precision stage is an essential device for optic fiber assembly systems, micro machines and semiconductor equipments. A new piezoelectric inchworm type actuator is proposed to implement an actuator-integrated long-stroke linear stage. An in-and-quadrature phase (I/Q) heterodyne interferometer is developed as a feedback sensor of a servo system, and a synchronized counting method is proposed. The proposed measurement system can measure the accurate position of fast moving object with robustness to external sensing noise from actuator vibration. The developed servo stage will be applied to optic fiber device assembly system.

متن کاملPrecision displacement measurement by active laser heterodyne interferometry.
We demonstrate an active laser heterodyne interferometer which can automatically compensate environmental disturbances and is capable of precision displacement measurement. Two Zeeman He-Ne lasers were employed. Laser II was used as the light source to stabilize the interferometer by using a piezomirror in a feedback loop. The hetereodyne signal of the two lasers was used to directly calibrate ...

This paper presents the successful demonstration of a large-stroke, high-precision inchworm microactuator. The actuator is capable of zero-power latching, or forcibly maintaining its position by using pre-stressed spring load. The actuator is driven by a combination of a PZT-stack actuator unit for slider thrust and electrostatic comb-drive units for slider grip. Incremental step size is precis...

A lightweight and electrically passive interferometer is demanded by a number of applications for precision metrology such as machine tool metrology and on-machine feedback [1]. To satisfy these requirements, a fiber-optic coupled heterodyne displacement measuring Michelson interferometer (FIDMI) shown in Fig.1 has been developed in the Center of Precision Metrology (CPM) at the University of N...
متن کاملMethod for gauge block measurement with the heterodyne central fringe identification technique.
In a modified Michelson interferometer, the top face of the wringing platen is first identified using the heterodyne central fringe identification technique. Then the reference mirror located in the other arm is moved by a precision translation stage until the top face of the tested gauge block is also identified with the same technique. The displacement of the mirror is exactly equivalent to t...
