The robot workcell consists of two robots Puma 560 and
IBM 7575, and a conveyer system. The retrofitted robot
controller consists of servo controller, I/O and A/D
interface boards from Delta Tau Data Systems, machine
vision system from Datacube and Panasonic,
force/torque sensing system from JR3. The robot
workcell is coordinated in the CH language environment
under a real-time operating system LynxOS from Lynx
Real-Time Systems running in a VMEbus based single
board computer MVME167 from Motorola. PMAC VME |

A light-duty, inexpensive rotator/linear rail pair has been developed for indoor range use. A single
PMAC-based motion control system controls both units. By placing the target on the rotator and the antenna on the vertically-oriented rail, 3-D imaging can be performed with the
MkV. PMAC. |

The Industrial Dynamics SZ-1000 microdrilling machine is the most unique design in the industry, upholding the theory that simplicity is efficiency. The Model 1000 boasts faster, more accurate positioning, the lowest power requirements,and the fastest spindle design of any major manufacturer, known as the Zindle™. Capable of 250,000 rpm, the Zindle™ allows us to drill with unparalleled results: hole wall quality superior to laser drilling, hit rates up to 500
hpm, and drilled-hole accuracy ± 0.0007". PMAC. |

Experience in bringing into operation the 91-segment primary mirror alignment and control system, the focal plane tracker system, and other critical subsystems of the HET will be described. Particular attention is given to the tracker, which utilizes three linear and three rotational degrees of freedom to follow sidereal targets. Coarse time-dependent functions for each axis are downloaded to autonomous PMAC controllers that provide the precise motion drives to the two linear stages and the hexapod system.

This paper describes the application of a computational vision sensor to active binocular tracking. The sensor outputs are used to control the vergence angles of the two cameras and the tilt angle of the head so that the center pixels of the sensor arrays image the same point in the environment. One distinguishing feature of the sensor used here is the possibility to resolve target motions with sub-pixel resolution. PMAC

Chatsworth, Calif.—Turbo PMAC is a CPU board that controls as many as 32 motion axes (in up to 16 independent coordinate systems) with either an analog, digital, or Macro Ring interface. Turbo PMAC employs new DSPs (Motorola 56300 family) to add performance to Delta Tau's PMAC and PMAC2 motion controllers, as a piggyback CPU board. It is available in PMAC1 (analog), PMAC2 (digital), and
"ultralite" (Macro Ring) versions-in PC and VME bus form factors.
