Definitions
- the invention relates to an apparatus for manipulation of an optical element in up to six degrees of freedom with respect to a structure via at least three actuator devices.
- the invention likewise relates to an actuator device for direct linking of an optical element or an optical assembly.
- the invention also relates to an apparatus for manipulation of an optical assembly in up to six degrees of freedom with respect to a structure via at least three actuator devices. Further, the invention relates to a force-controlled actuator and a force-controlled actuator device.
- An apparatus for manipulation of an optical element in up to six degrees of freedom with respect to a structure via at least three actuator devices is known from EP 1 312 965 A1.
- Optical elements in particular mirrors, are mainly manipulated in three degrees of freedom, and piezoactuators, for example, are used for this purpose.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,986,827 discloses a manipulation apparatus for an optical element in three degrees of freedom.
- Damped force-controlled actuators for damping an optical element in up to six degrees of freedom are known and designated as hybrid actuators.
- There a Lorentz actuator with a damping system is forming the hybrid actuator.
- the arrangement of these hybrid actuators in a hexapod configuration is also described. While this configuration focuses the problem of active damping, the present invention relates to actuators or to an actuator system such that almost no parasitic forces are transferred to an optical element, supported or adjusted by the actuators or the actuator system.
- degree of freedom should be understood in a mechanical meaning, such that each possibility of cinematic motion of a rigid body is described by an independent coordinate, which represents the respective degree of freedom.
- degrees of freedom are translations and rotations as already mentioned.
- Actuators which produce movements along one degree of freedom are normally linked to the optical element or to the optical assembly, for manipulation.
- This link must be stiff in the direction of action and must have approximately no stiffness in the remaining degrees of freedom, since the piezoactuator produces displacement forces there. In high-precision applications, this is normally achieved by means of solid body elements, which can introduce undesirable parasitic forces. Sockets are therefore additionally required for compensation purposes, in order to prevent deformations from being transmitted to the optical element or to the optical assembly. Intermediate elements such as these considerably reduce the high degree of stiffness of the bearing required for precise manipulation, thus disadvantageously resulting in it not being possible to achieve the position accuracies required above.
- EP 1 001 512 A2 discloses force-controlled actuators, in particular Lorentz actuators.
- the Lorentz actuators described there have a permanent magnet which produces a magnetic field in which an element through which current flows is arranged.
- the resultant Lorentz force is used to produce a movement or a force between moving parts of the Lorentz actuator.
- the present invention is based on the object of providing an apparatus of the type mentioned initially, which allows precise manipulation of optical elements or assemblies in up to six degrees of freedom, with the aid of as far as possible preventing the introduction of undesirable deformations.
- the actuator devices each have at least two force-controlled actuators, which each produce an effective force in one degree of freedom, with linking points of the actuator devices acting directly on the optical element.
- the effective forces of the actuators of an actuator device are directing in directions of different degrees of freedom of the optical element.
- Such the effective force of the actuator device, resulting from the forces of the actuators may be adjusted within a plane, defined by the effective forces of the actuators, by adjusting the individual forces of the actuators of the actuator device.
- an actuator according to the present invention is a force-controlled actuator, which produces an effective force in one degree of freedom.
- This actuator comprises a first and a second element. The elements are moveable relative to each other, and the first element and the second element are mechanically decoupled such that only gas or vacuum is between the first and the second element.
- Such a force-controlled actuator preferably a Lorentz based actuator
- an element of a first force-controlled actuator as described above is coupled via a coupling element to an element of a second force-controlled actuator of the same type.
- the coupling element can also be an optical element or parts of it, meaning that each actuator of the actuator device is mechanically coupled to the optical element with at least one of its first or second elements.
- a coupling element is directly coupled to the optical element, and each actuator of the actuator device is mechanically coupled to the coupling element with at least one of its first or second element.
- the coupling element is moveable into at least one degree of freedom, if at least one force controlled actuator is actuated.
- the coupling element is movable into two degrees of freedom, if both force-controlled actuators of the actuator device are actuated to generate predefined forces.
- the linking point of an actuator device can be such that the moving part of the actuators of the actuator device directly contacts the optical element.
- the coupling element is the optical element.
- the contact is made such that it is essentially a point-like contact, meaning that all actuators of the actuator device affect at the same point of the optical element.
- other contact geometries are possible like such that the actuators of an actuator device affect at different points of the optical device. If there are more than two actuators in an actuator device, combinations are possible, such that some actuators can affect at the same point and others at other points on the optical element.
- the actuators or at least one actuator of an actuator device can affect to the optical element via a separate coupling element, which is a part of the actuator device, comprising or forming the linking point of the actuator device to the optical element.
- the coupling element is connected with two actuators such that a movement (caused by the actuators) of the optical element can be done in a space (usually a sub-space of the space defined by all degrees of freedom) defined by the degrees of freedom of the two actuators of the actuator device.
- the separate coupling element has the advantage to form a more point-like linking point between the actuator device and the optical element.
- the object is likewise achieved by claims 2 and 18 .
- the object is achieved by claim 33 .
- the measures according to the invention provide a precise and rapid manipulation capability for optical elements or optical assemblies in up to six degrees of freedom.
- force-controlled actuators which essentially allow the remaining degrees of freedom which differ from the direction of action to be unchanged, mean that there is no need for any intermediate flexible elements or sockets in order to compensate for parasitic forces, thus increasing the overall stiffness of the arrangement, e.g. in the direction of the acting force, and improving the position accuracy.
- the invention also provides for three actuator devices to be provided, and for the actuator devices each to have at least two force-controlled actuators which each allow one degree of freedom.
- the actuator devices are arranged relative to each other such that the degrees of freedom of at least two actuator devices are linear independent regarding at least two degrees of freedom given by different actuator devices.
- optical elements being mounted in an advantageous manner in an arrangement which allows manipulation or positioning in up to six degrees of freedom.
- the optical element is in this case mounted without an additional socket, that is to say the actuator devices act directly on the optical element.
- the actuator devices it is advantageous for the actuator devices to each have a gravity compensation device.
- the plane which is covered by the linking points of the actuator devices to lie at least approximately on the neutral plane of the optical element.
- the linking points are defining a plane, which is nearby the neutral plane.
- the planes preferably are arranged such that the maximum distance of the planes within the optical element is smaller than 20% of the maximum thickness of the optical element.
- the surface or face within or outside a stiff body, for example an optical element is referred to as a neutral plane, in which introduction of forces and moments—for example by means of a manipulator or the like—causes minimal deformations on the optical surface.
- a neutral plane in which introduction of forces and moments—for example by means of a manipulator or the like—causes minimal deformations on the optical surface.
- the fiber of a workpiece in which there is no stress when the workpiece is bent is referred to as the neutral fiber.
- the outer and inner fibers are, in contrast, stretched or compressed during bending.
- the linking points of the actuator devices act directly—without any intermediate socket—on the optical element, in order now to further improve the bearing or the manipulation of the optical element with respect to deformations that are introduced, and the actuator devices act in an advantageous manner on the neutral plane of the optical element.
- the actuator devices it is also possible to provide for the actuator devices to be replaced for manufacturing purposes by a passive substitute module, with the gravity force directions and action points in the manufacturing phase and during subsequent use matching.
- the optical element can be designed even during the manufacturing phase on the basis of the same force relationships as during subsequent operation, in particular with regard to compensation for the deformations caused to the optical element by gravity forces. This means that the gravity force during operation is compensated for by a force which acts at an exactly defined point.
- the gravity force must once again act at the same point.
- these measures reduce deformations of the optical element caused by moments that are introduced.
