  1. The Research, Design and Fabrication of a Friction Based Precision Optical Positioner Burton Bruce P.E.

  2. Design Goals • The goal was to design as precision optical platform that would have: • Severalhundred μm range in the X-Y plane, • Stability when subjected to normal laboratory conditions, • Around μm resolution, • Have a small package size compared to what is commercially available. • Be independent of orientation with respect to the gravitational field. • In addition several other factors arose in the design process. These factors became prominent when I determined to make a prototype for demonstration in class and at work. These factors were: • Simplicity of design • Machinability • Since I needed to make a prototype I needed to keep the materials common and easy to machine with the facilities that were available. • Low parts count • The ability to modify the design easily for different experimental requirements.
