Hydraulic Nanomanipulator P13375
Introductions • Customer Dr. Schrlau • Team David Anderson Ryan Dunn Bryon Elston Elizabeth Fischer Robert Menna • Guides Bill Nowak Charlie Tabb
Project Objectives & Goals • Improve 13371 design • Reduce Backlash • Increase Speed • Add Remote Access • Increase access to nanotechnology
Existing System (P13371) • Drive Subsystem
Existing System (P13371) • Manipulator Subsystem
House of Quality Pareto Analysis • Top Specifications • Ease of Use • Calibration • Video Latency • Manipulator Backlash • Control Latency • Limit of Travel in Each Direction • Resolution • Input Device Control (Remote and Local) • Speed of Travel • If Top 9 of 17 Specs Met • 75% of customer needs satisfied
Options Considered • Double acting cylinders • $200 a piece from Parker • Precision pumps • Quoted at $2000 for one pump alone from Burt and other suppliers • Smaller low friction cylinders • Seems promising • Micro-stepping • Reduces speed proportionally to increase in resolution • Stiffer or softer springs • Tested and produced greater backlash
System Proposition • Components • MQP10-10S Cylinders at Manipulator • New carriage • System Accomplishments • Double speed of P13371 (0.04 mm/s to 0.105 mm/s) • Maintain resolution of 104.67 nm • Improve robustness of system with new low friction precision pistons • This will improve backlash, along with better filling methods
Stepper Motors • Gear ratio: 13.76 planetary Gear • Max holding torque: 7.55 N-m • Max sustainable torque: 2.94 N-m • Step angle: 0.067 degrees • Max Speed: 22.88 RPM • # Leads: 4 – Bipolar stepper • Electrical: 12V supply 1.6A/phase
Resolution Feasibility Analysis • Lead=0.0125 in/rev = 0.3175mm/rev • Gear Ratio = 13.76 • Step Angle Before Gears = 1.8° • With hydraulic advantage of 1.10 • 104.67 nm/step • This is essentially equivalent to the spec of 100 nm/step • Spec Met • Previous team was at 54 nm
Range of Motion Feasibility Analysis • Change to Manipulator Cylinders only • New Cylinders have a stroke of 10mm • Spec. is 0.25cm<x<1cm for each axis • 10mm=1cm • If the equilibrium position is set to half stroke the range of motion in each direction is 0.5 cm • Spec Met (FS=2) • Previous team was at 1.1 cm
Speed Feasibility Analysis • Motor Speed= 22rpm • Lead of Lead Screw= 0.3175 mm/rev • Speed Spec= > 0.5 mm/s • 0.1056 mm/s < 0.5 mm/s • Spec Not Met • Previous team had a measured speed of 0.04 mm/s listed in technical report • Proposed solution provides twice the speed of previous
Friction Anlaysis • Axis Units Weight • z (g) 104.68 • x (g) 155.12 • y (g) 154.91 • x+y (g) 310.3 • x+y+z (g) 414.71 • x carriage assembly (g) 28.66 • Pipette Mount 31.9 g • overall carriage friction coefficient 0.547 (from P13371 test results) • f(y-axis) = 0.547*(0.0319+0.15512)*9.81 m/s^2 • f(y-axis) = 1.004 N • f(x-axis) = 0.547*(0.0319 + 0.02866)*9.81 • f(x-axis) = 0.325 N • Note: Only z-axis friction due to sliding of rods in thru holes – if system is properly balanced torque will be a minimum and this will be a non-issue – can alleviate using springs around piston or alignment rods
Pressure Feasibility The stepper motor has been tested up to 70N Torque Feasibility
Feasibility Analysis • Manipulator was modeled in Solidworks • Weight =447.2 g (Spec Met of 550 g) • Previous team was at 689 g • Size 11.86 x 11.93 x 10.01 cm (Spec Not Met of 8 X 8 X 8 cm) • Previous Team was at 13 x 13 x 13
Software Concept Selection • Decision made to implement software via D3 – MATLAB with Java networking
MATLAB Local Model • Accepts command and control signals from client (i.e. to direct manipulator) • Interfaces with camera hardware for live video imaging access • Image processing for automated calibration (needle tip located, centered) • Manipulator resolution mapped to speed setting, configurable via software • P13371 provides working Java serial communication to microcontroller • Implementing USB interface
Remote Access Support MATLAB local model wrapping underlying Java networking support • Command and Control Channel – • Accepts input from remote client to direct local model • Manipulator movement via client input devices • Speed control • Command protocol implemented via Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) • Connection based, ordered, error-checked command transmission • Media Streaming Channel – • Captures image/video media from manipulator microscope camera • Media is streamed to connected client in real time • Client-configurable image quality (resolution, color depth, compression) • Media data transmitted via User Datagram Protocol (UDP) • Connectionless, low overhead, reduced latency bulk data transmission
Remote Access Support • Proof of concept MATLAB / Java software completed • Feasibility and reliability of software concept selection proven • Portable with simple, single executable and MATLAB runtime library • Research and development paves the way to refine final solution Client (Remote Model) Host (Local Model)
Remote Access Support Latency Considerations The one-way trip time between host and client. • Video/image media streaming from host to client (one way) • Implemented via UDP for rapid, low overhead, bulk data transmission • Sacrifices ordering, error checking, protocol-level guarantee for real-time streaming • It is okay to lose image frames rather than delaying entire application/experience (stream may be smoothed) • Command sending from client to host (round trip) • Implemented via TCP with request/reply loop: • Client sends command “Move to coordinate” • Host receives command, provides error-checking • Host sends acknowledgement to client informing command has been accepted • Client receives acknowledgement • Optimal command latency: <= 200 ms
