Asynchronous Control of a Prototype Inchworm Actuator: Control Design and Test Results
Inchworm actuators are innovative mechanisms that offer nanometer-level positioning coupled with extreme dynamic range. Because of this, they have found applications in optical instruments of various types including interferometers, segmented reflectors, and coronagraphs. In this paper, we present t...
