    High Speed Rotary Stage for Polarizers

    drawoh, I've been looking at calculating the acceleration but it has been a minute since I have done it. acceleration = w/t correct? Change in angular velocity / change in time right? This seems to be the only viable solution, given they have absolute encoders and low propagation controller...

    High Speed Rotary Stage for Polarizers

    3DDave, it will have varying degrees to reach. Anything between 0 and 90 degrees. Example, I could move to 23 degrees, then to 70 degrees, and then back to 10 degrees. This will occur for about 30 seconds. So precision bi-directional repeatability is a must. Thanks.

    High Speed Rotary Stage for Polarizers

    Stuck on a problem. I need to spin a 1" polarizer optic 0 to 90 degrees in 0.007 seconds. If my math is correct (please correct me if I'm wrong) and I'm evaluating this in 360 degrees or 0.028 seconds/revolution, that is 2142.857 RPM or 35.714 RPS/HZ. ω = 2142.857 ( Revolutions)/minute × 6 =...
