Analysis and Design of Weight Balancing System for Laser Velocimetry Traverse

Abstract

This technical memorandum describes the process of designing the weight balancing system which is an in-house effort to extend the lifting capability of the vertical axis of the Anomatic II system. The Anomatic II system is a programmable three-dimensional positioning controller used as a laser velocimetry traverse. The Anomatic II system is the prime mover and the weight balancing system is an add-on follower that derives its motion and speed in response to the Anomatic II system. The weight balancing system consists primarily of a pneumatic cylinder-steel cable mechanism which proves to be effective in lifting excessive weight, economic in construction and simple to operate.
