LazerArc’s Custom space industry Solution
Dual Carriage Transfer System: The centerpiece of LazerArc’s engineering marvel was a dual carriage transfer system, tailored to surpass the client’s expectations. This system boasted an extraordinary accuracy of +/- 0.0004 inches per foot of travel, a testament to LazerArc’s commitment to precision.
High-Precision Components: The system was powered by high-precision servo gear reducers attached to each carriage, coupled with a low backlash helical bevel rack and pinion system. These components were integral in facilitating smooth and precise movements, which were crucial for the delicate measurements needed in satellite technology.
Modular Design for Space Optimization: The entire system was ingeniously segmented into five modules, each not exceeding eight feet, to align with the client’s material handling capacity. This modular approach, fitting within a 40.5-foot long soundproof room, showcased LazerArc’s innovative problem-solving in navigating spatial constraints.
Low-Profile Configuration: Adhering to strict height limitations, the system was designed to maintain a maximum height of 12 inches from the floor to the carriage mounting surface. This meticulous engineering ensured the system fit within the compact operational environment without compromising functionality.
Anti-Collision Safety Features: To prevent potential equipment damage, each carriage was equipped with anti-collision devices. This safety feature was crucial for ensuring that the dual carriages could operate concurrently on the same track without risking damage.
Secondary Positioning System with Optical Reader: Complementing the primary positioning system, a secondary mechanism featuring an optical reader head was integrated to offer feedback for positioning with an accuracy of +/- 0.1 mm. This dual-system design provided an additional layer of precision and reliability.
CONCLUSION
LazerArc’s execution of the custom-engineered transfer system for the space industry underscores its prowess in delivering specialized, precise, and dependable solutions. By meticulously meeting the intricate and demanding specifications of the satellite measurement project, LazerArc demonstrated not just its engineering excellence, but also its unwavering dedication to client satisfaction and project success.
