  2. 6-DOF Mirror Position Control • AOS Controls Øx, Øy, and z • Sensors: Blend of 6 - 1um Mitutoyo Axial Gauges, and step counts on the 120 Axial Actuators. • Actuators: 120 axial actuators, including 3 existing “hard points”. • ALS Controls x, y, and Øz • Sensors: 12 - 1um Mitutoyo Gauges, measuring radial position, and mirror rotation • Actuators: 6 lateral link actuators. • As the 2 control loops are orthogonal, their cross interactions should be small and controllable. • Will measure and model interactions during integration.

  5. AOS Influence Function ( FEA Model ) • Goodrich FEA model file ( Tur1fa4.dat), 117 Actuators with 1lb force, 3576 nodes measured. • The Influence Function used for converting CWFS OPD to forces (InfMatrix09102003.f2w) , is based on interpolation of the FEA 3576 nodes to a 25x25 CWFS grid for all the 120 actuators, points outside mirror are set to zero, the scale is um/lb. • 3 Hard points ( #42, #50, & #58 ) CWFS grids where set to zero. • The Influence Function used by the force loop, (InfluenceMatrix120.dat) is based on an interpolation of the 3576 FEA nodes to the 120 actuator locations, scaled to steps/lb. • 3 Hard Points columns set to zero. • 18.3 steps is added to diagonal for 117 other actuators to compensate for self influence. • FEA Model is producing large voids near the Hard Points, this is in error, as all 120 actuators do have a real influence.

  7. AOS Influence Function ( Measured ) • A method was used to calculate the influence functions, based on actual force measurements, by using the following technique: • Each actuator was moved +200 and -200 steps, and all forces collected, for all the 120 actuators. • A matrix was constructed, and scaled in lb/step • The inversion of this matrix resulted in an equivalent of the theoretical InfluenceMatrix120.dat • The 18.3 step self influence was subtracted from the diagonal, this results in a matrix comparable to the FEA model, scaled in um/lb. • This surface displacement is similar to the theoretical one, a biggest difference is seen when the Tip/Tilt is removed, as the surface error clearly shows no voids near the hard points as expected.

  9. AOS Position Loop Tests • The AOS Position Loop has been tested in open loop mode in order to minimize the Hard Point Force errors, with the following procedure: • A set of force measurements is made at different elevations angles, with the AOS in close loop, with a known Baseline file. • The hard point force errors at each elevation is used to calculate a tip/tilt/piston position error plane (20 steps/lb) • This position is multiplied with the inverse influence function in order to calculate a set of correction forces. • A polynomial of the correction forces v/s ZD is built and then added to the Baseline file used for the tests, this creates a tip/tilt/piston corrected Baseline file. • This procedure has been used successfully many times, with good results, as the hard points errors are always corrected with a single path.

  12. Measured ALS Influence Matrix • The Lateral Link Influence Matrix was measured by forcing +/200 Kg on each link and measuring the response on all links. • Influence matrix needs to be re-measured once new links are in place, to account for any stiffness changes Link1 Link2 Link3 Link4 Link5 Link6 Inf1 1.0000 -0.6514 0.0284 0.3117 0.0476 -0.6347 Infl2 -0.6866 1.0000 -0.6839 0.0117 0.3463 -0.0086 Infl3 0.0299 -0.6890 1.0000 -0.6728 -0.0729 0.3325 Infl4 0.3022 0.0138 -0.6252 1.0000 -0.6159 0.0101 Infl5 0.0350 0.3265 -0.0461 -0.6467 1.0000 -0.6635 Infl6 -0.7020 -0.0055 0.3448 0.0004 -0.7383 1.0000

  13. Measured Lateral Link Stiffness Stiffness: Link1 = 4.03e6 Kg/m Link2 = 6.04e6 Kg/m Link3 = 6.29e6 Kg/m Link4 = 4.06e6 Kg/m Link5 = 5.57e6 Kg/m Link6 = 6.52e6 Kg/m

  14. ALS Interface Speed requirements • Assumptions • Assume a El=90 deg to El=0 deg deg Telescope Motion • Maximum Force Error on Load Bearing Links ~ 300Kg ( from tests ) • Assume time to converge = 30 seconds max. • Assume a 7:1 lever ratio, and 80nm steps at actuator • Total Link stiffness = 4e6Kg/m or 4Kg/um ( 220,000 lbs/in ) • Derived requirements • Step Motion on Link = 80/7 = 11.4nm/step • Total Link Motion needed = 300/4 = 75um • Number of Steps = 75/0.0114 = 6578 steps • Max Step Speed = 6578/30 = 219 steps/sec • This is quite conservative and easy to implement with selected hardware, tested to 5000 steps/sec.

  15. ALS Speed Requirements during Tracking • Calculation of worst case Control loop speed requirements: • Assume El at sidereal rate ( 15”/sec max ) • Maximum Force Rate of change: • sin (15”)*812.5/cos(30) = 0.0682 Kg/sec per link. • 812.5/cos(30) = Nominal Load on each link at ZD=90 • Step resolution at Link = 11.4nm, Link Stiffness = 4Kg/um • Force Step = 4 * 0.0114 = 0.0456 Kg/step • Max Speed = 0.0682/0.0456 = 1.5 step/sec • If we assume that a error of greater than 1Kg is needed before a correction is necessary, the loop needs to be updated at a maximum interval of 14.6 (1/0.0682) seconds, therefore an update rate of 1Hz for the control loop is more than adequate during tracking.
