Abstract

In this study, the design, fabrication and
assembly stages of a computer aided servo motor controlled unique mechanical
system used for the z-scan technique, which is one of the methods used to
determine the nonlinear properties of optical materials and optical
characterization (optical permeability) will be explained in the nonlinear
optical field. This design combines different disciplines, such as basic
mechanics, control systems, computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM)
and hydraulic pneumatics, scientifically and technically. The main automation
units of the system are; Siemens S71200 CPU1212 from the new generation PLC
systems, Siemens S-1F6 series compatible with this system; 1FL6042-1AF61-0AA1,
0.4 kW 3-AC Servo Motor, Siemens 6SL3210-5FE10-8UA0 V-90 Servo Motor driver and
various shafts, roller bearings, lightweight aluminum alloys, mechanical rails
and carier integrated in these systems and stainless steel mechanical double
joint coupling for reducing the workload of the servo
motor. The system whose fabrication has been completed has far superior
mechanical and automation properties when compared to the other systems which
are used in the field of opto-mechanical manufacturing and which enable the
precise measurement to be taken. CNC Lathe and CNC Milling machines and labs of
our vocational school were used in all of the manufacturing stages of all the
units of the system. The design, fabrication, and assembly stages of the system
will be explained in depth with technical data and photographs.
