  11. POM Mechanism without Support Structure • Mechanism Description: • The Pickoff Mirror Support is a 2-Axis Gimbal Mount Mechanism whose axis are at right angles to each other and are co-planar to the front surface of the Mirror. The nominal angle of the POM is 45 degrees to the incoming beam • CCW and CW Rotation is limited to about 2 degrees (stops) in both axis • Compression Springs are used to preload Gimbal Frames onto Actuator ends (eliminating backlash) • Rotation is accomplished remotely using Newport Actuators (blue cylinders) • Note: This mechanism is difficult to service while installed inside the AO Spool. Remove everything up to, but not including X-Y Stage. (see next slides) • Checklist: • Do Actuator ends remain in contact with the Gimbal Frames at all times? Will require energizing the Actuators to verify • Are the Actuators themselves held firmly in place (check screws that hold Actuator Bodies) • Check Flex Pivots for breakage; check screws that secures Flex Pivots 8x) • Check Mirror Clips 3x (do they hold the POM firmly in place?) • For a parts list of Gimbal Mount Pickoff: AOK-100 go to… • http://irtfweb.ifa.hawaii.edu/~ao/Mechanical/AO-IRTF/AO-Acquisition-Camera-AOK/Assy-AOK/ a b Actuator a-axis Actuator b-axis

  12. Note: To access these screws disassembly is NOT required to what is shown in this picture!! Optics Base Plate: AOK-312 Relevant Screws Qty=4 X-Y Stage George Mount: AOK-400 There are 4x 10-32 Socket Head Cap Screws (SHCS) used to bolt the Optics Base Plate to the X-Y Stage All of them are accessible by removing the Top Plate Cover AOK-317 (see next slides). Side walls do NOT have to be removed!

  13. Access to 2x 10-32 SHCS

  14. Access to 1x 10-32 SHCS May need to move motor if not visible

  15. Access to 1x 10-32 SHCS
