Absolute encoders and motors for -80°C motors Choosing a drive system for our application. To be taken into account: Ø Ø Ø speed mechanical load characteristics smoothness of motion resolution temperature other environmental conditions our choose for IRAIT telescope: stepper motors a stepper motor is an electromagnetic driving system that moves around a particular reproduceable step angle due to defined wiring and triggering of windings (phases). With a motor control that triggers the phases, a quasi-continuous rotation is achieved. The smallest possible resolution of positioning depends on the motor as well as on the type of drive. An usual value for the resolution of commercial stepper motors is 200 steps per revolution; however, resolution can be considerably increased by electronic micro-stepping. With the right design of bearings and windings, a stepper motor is able to work in extreme environmental conditions. 27/03/2007 IRAIT Team fabio. roncella@email. it
Absolute encoders and motors for -80°C motors stepper motors advantages for our application: Ø Ø high torque at low speeds, e. g. during tracking smoothness of motion, at least using good driving electronics low temperatures tolerant, choosing the right commercial product no need for an encoder to get reproduceable positioning (*) but a loss of steps must be avoided! Typically a bad design and/or a bad tuning of the driving system, in presence of irregular loads, can produce a loss of steps. Anyway, as you will see, we have ALSO absolute encoders on telescope axes. . . our choose: PHYTRON stepper motors, model ZSH 87/3. 200. 5 PLE 80/1 3: 1 27/03/2007 IRAIT Team fabio. roncella@email. it

Absolute encoders and motors for -80°C motors Climatic chamber tests (from 0°C to -80°C) in Germany (Phytron) Tested system behaviour in working conditions at various temperature values. Tested speed constance and motion smoothness and resolution at low temperatures, especially for low speeds (tracking). The system has been calibrated at -30°C. It works without problem at this temperature; with lower temperatures, there will be no damage. Giving power supply to the motors leads their temperature over -30°C; at that point we can move the telescope. A derating has been applied, to take into account the effect of low pressure values. We are using commercial off-the-shelf products; the cost-benefits ratio is very good. 27/03/2007 IRAIT Team fabio. roncella@email. it

Absolute encoders and motors for -80°C absolute encoders Choosing a position feedback system for our application. We don’t have encoders on motor axes; we use an angular position readout directly on telescope axes, at the end of kinematic chain (1: 1440 total ratio).

Absolute encoders and motors for -80°C absolute encoders HEIDENHAIN encoders with optical scanning incorporate measuring standards of periodic structures known as graduations. These graduations are applied to a carrier substrate of glass or steel. These precision graduations are manufactured in various photolithographic processes. Graduations are fabricated from: ¢extremely hard chromium lines on glass or gold-plated steel drums, ¢matte-etched lines on gold-plated steel tape, ¢three-dimensional structures etched into quartz glass, Manufacturing processes and typical grating periods: ¢ 40 µm with AURODUR ¢ 20 µm with METALLUR ¢ 10 µm with DIADUR ¢ 4 µm with etched quartz glass 27/03/2007 Circular graduations of absolute angle encoders IRAIT Team fabio. roncella@email. it
Absolute encoders and motors for -80°C absolute encoders Photoelectric scanning HEIDENHAIN uses the imaging scanning principle for absolute angle encoders: ¢ Parallel light hits the grating structure (scanning reticle) and light passes through the gaps. ¢ When the measuring standard moves in relation to the scanning reticle, the incident light is modulated (light / no light). ¢ Photovoltaic cells convert these variations in light intensity into electrical signals. 27/03/2007 IRAIT Team fabio. roncella@email. it

Absolute encoders and motors for -80°C absolute encoders Climatic chamber tests (from 0°C to -45°C) in Italy (Perugia University) Tested system behaviour in working conditions (encoder rotated by a motor at different speeds) at various temperature values. A specialist from Heidenhain supervised the tests. Heidenhain suggested a series of tests over the electrical signals coming from the encoder, with a particular attention to the incremental signal, to check for a signal level degradation with low temperatures. The behaviour of the system has been perfect. The tests doesn’t cover the full range of expected temperatures at Dome. C, but the self-heating of the device will keep it over the minimum value tested. 27/03/2007 IRAIT Team fabio. roncella@email. it
