Mechanical Description of Stage:

Electronic Description of Stage: Standard constrained rotary stage. Movement is constrained to the motion of the focus mechanism. The stage uses an EL-1236 Stage Interconnect Box, SPDTprimary limits, DPDT secondary limits, and an optical fiducial. The first limit the stage encounters is the software limit. Just beyond the software limit is the primary hardware limit. If the stage makes it past these limits, the secondary limit will break the connection to the motor itself. The software will inform the user that the secondary limit has been encountered. If this happens, the only way to back out of these limits is to manually move the motor shaft. The optical fiducial is used to define the home point. Note that the optical interrupter is only enabled when the stage is moving. This means that the IR emmitter is turned offwhen the focus stage is not moving, e.g., during exposures.

Required setting accuracy :

1. Speed, temperature, accuracies, electrical power, pressurized air,lubricant, coolant, N2 purge, ...
2. Primary (inner) and secondary (outer) limits. These can be magnetic,optical, or physical contact

1. Uphill defined as motor (or driven end of shaft) in lowest position

Sign conventions are such that a positive motion of the motor turnsthe motor in a CW direction as viewed from the drive shaft looking backinto the motor, and will drive the stage towards the forward limit.
