Research on the Floating Motion Platform for Detecting Surface Defects in KDP Crystal
The ultra-precision floating motion platform is the key device for equipment detectingand processing optical elements, and this paper mainly studies the floating motion platform used fordetecting the surface detects in KDP crystal. The load capacity of air cushion supporting the floatingmotion platform is studied theoretically and experimentally, and finally the supply pressure of thefour air cushions were optimized under the guidance of its load characteristic curve. The structureparameter of plane flexure hinge, a key part of floating motion platform, is optimized and thesimulation results show that the optimized plane flexure hinge can eliminate the disturbance inZ-direction obviously, which is produced by the two motors. Finally the support position of crystalholder is optimized by means of static and modal analysis; and the set of optimized support way canmake the maximum deformation of the platform reducing by 2μm and make the 1st order naturalfrequency increase from 49.078Hz to 51.787Hz.
