General principle
Girders Cradles Articulation pointsStandard active
motion devices
Modules trains (principle, different length...)Improvement of an existing deviceCradles(interface) and articulations point (degrees of freedom) are in-between girdersConsiderations: rigid girders, Vs exists and are well aligned...
=> Cradle and articulation point are important components

General principle(zoom on the articulation point principle)
Objective: beam axle = beam axle
Girder sub-assembly Articulationsub-assembly
Girder sub-assembly
No adjustment device in-between 2 girdersWe need to have less sub-assemblies as possible.Inside sub-assemblies, all red references should be well aligned together!

General principle(Girder sub-assembly)
Accuracy not easy to obtain but the problem can be skirted around by using shims
MachiningAccuracy OK
Objective: V supports references and holes must be well positioned between them
Red references are important<->Metrological control needed!

General principle(Articulation sub-assembly)
Objective: up and downstream holes must be well aligned.
<-> We assemble the 3 parts and we do the final drilling
Accuracy is OK (+/-0.01mm)
After that the 3 components of an articulation sub-assembly must stay
together!

Suggested solutions for the active alignment
Flexible components (blades) are used for kinematic pivot connections where we usually need standard pivots components
Example:-Blue square shape fixed-Red square shape connected to the cradle-70N radial force (2x for trapezium)-4000N vertical force-2.1mm radial displacement-750N/mm2 maximum stress in blades-Vertical movement is less than 0.05mm (compensated by the actuators)
Advantages:-High precision-No Friction (no stick-slip/Forces instantaneous transmission)-Good repeatability, suppression of the clearance and the hysteresis phenomenon-Monolithic component

Conclusion(Needs, constaints and suggestion)
20µm expected precision should be reachedCradles have to be considered as an integral parts of a girderSystem compatible with Boostec and Epucert girders
Accurate machiningSpecific material usingMeticulous of pre-assemblingPre-alignment importantDifficulties to reduce the overall dimensionsGap in-between girder very shortWeight variation is a very high constraint (vertical compensation?)
