LIU BWS follow-up
Present:
· Federico, Lars J, Jose Sirvent, Jonathan, Patrik, William, Dimitry, JJ, Ray
General ACTION:
· Federico to summarise LIU specification table to allow comparison of mechanical specifications (& their impact) with achieved measurements.
Optical Disk Uncertainty (Jose):
· 20um optical spot on disk - pitch pattern?
Sources of uncertainty - systematic errors
· Disk mounting eccentricity
o Mounting Error (On-line correction with two focusers)
· Disk fabrication
o Pattern Uniformity (Possible to identify on eccentricity correction)
· Disk imperfections
o Scratches produce loss-counts (Corrected during processing)
· Disk rotation run-out
o Slow and cyclic optical signal power loss (Corrected during processing)
· Sensor Interferometry
o Optical signal modulation during runout (Corrected during processing)
· Disk Ref.-Fork Alignment
o Incertitude on fork projection angle (Extracted trough calibration)
Sources of uncertainty - random errors - mechanics
· Disk / Focuser transversal vibrations
o Linear displacements on the track axis
· Focusers tilt due to vibrations
o Eccentricity correction would be affected
· Disk Fixation Mechanical play
o Random Disk eccentricity variation
Sources of uncertainty - random errors - mechanics
· Sampling frequency VS Speed limits resolution on crossing points
o @ 133rad/s Signal Freq. ~ 600KHz, sampled @ 20 MHz < 0.09um projected
· Random variation on signal processing algorithm
o count-loss correction, dynamic threshold crossing
Slit-to-slit projected distance : 26.6 um (Interpolation possible)
· Projected systematic position error on a scan: ~1.33um
Eccentricity:
· Without correction (all speeds)
o Max Pos. Error 3.8mRad (570um Proj.)
o Disk off-centre by 177um
· After correction
o 8m/s Encoder Reproducibility (Precision) ~ 2.9urad à 0.36 um
o 20m/s Encoder Reproducibility (Precision) ~ 3.5urad à 0.43 um
Calibration Bench:
Position reproducibility:
· 20m/s : Projected Precision: 57.3 um
· 8 m/s : Projected Precision: 11 um
· Difference presumed to be due to vibrations
o Need to isolate laser assembly from scanner tank to re-test
Relative laser scale on single scan:
· Precision between 50-100um depends on scan speed
· not understood why larger than position reproducibility
Speed variation (as calculated)
· 0.1 m/s @ 20m/s
· 0.04 ms @ 8m/s
ACTIONS:
· Re-design test bench to separate laser & scanner (probably not before review)
- May be possible to make a simple set-up for a single laser position, decoupling laser & photodiodes from the table holding the scanner mechanics
· Try to understand why 2 laser distance resolution worse than scatter on position
o Try to analyse single laser to position for both & compare to average
· Look at reproducibility of start timing to given position
Mechanical Uncertainty (Dimitry)
In mechanical engineering, backlash, sometimes called lash or play, is a clearance or lost motion in a mechanism caused by gaps between the parts.
· Engineering tolerance is the permissible limit or limits of variation of dimension
ACTION:
Look at which aspects have a significant impact on uncertainty, producing expected values for the following:
· Fork deformation
o During acceleration
o Due to shaft torque
· Wire vibration
· Wire deformation
· Play between
o optical wheel & shaft
o optical wheel & optics
