Calibration of the multichannel sensor of a plane angle in dynamic and static modes

Abstract

The work concerns to the computerized techniques of quality estimation of automated top precision angle-code converters. Study of instrumental errors of a rotor position sensor (RPS) with use of goniometric rotary bench (GRB) was made, the plane angle accuracy being got from an optical interferential flat-mirror-zero-point module of original design and a photoelectric angle encoder ofRON-905 type manufactured by the <<Heidenheinx Corporation (Germany). Also a research was made ofinaccuracies ofthe goniometric rotary bench itself, and also the methods have been developed for definition of inaccuracies due to dynamical behavior of measurement of an angle, and both for their algorithmic elimination. Study of systematic, random, and dynamical inaccuracies ofboth the standard sensor RON-905, and the tested one, RPS, was carried out. Research of dynamic inaccuracy of said angle measurements was made by means of interrelation between angular rate of rotation and changing of the measured angle interval from the interferential zero-label to the certain selected RON label. The latter data gave rise to close algorithmic elimination ofa dynamical error arisen from RON own delay time. In this way, it became possible to calibrate the tested sensor in a very broad range of rotation rate and in several modes of rotation with a steady accuracy. The developed techniques provide calibration of sensors in a case of a rotary bench movement with the composite postulated law ofa turn angle against time.Keywords: a dynamic goniometric bench, photoelectric angle encoder, interference zero-point unit, dynamical inaccuracy.
