Abstract
Based on the lens of spatial filter parallel auxiliary assembly and collimation method, aiming at the unloading and locking problem of the filter lens after collimating, a lens parallel adjustable axial locking structure was proposed. A special elastic chuck structure was designed to realize clamping axial friction locking; each branch realized interference fit, and the adjustable structure of “line-line-line” contact realized equivalent fixation through spring pre-tightening. Compared with radial locking, the abrupt error of the axial locking lens in the unloading process of a collimating auxiliary machine was small, and the posture state maintenance and structural response stability were strong. The established homogeneous transformation matrix (HTM) and lens global error showed that the pose torsion roll error of the radial locking structure was significantly suppressed. The relative stability experiment showed that the angular drift error of the lens axial locking structure was ± 0.2 µrad. The design effectively improved the unloading anti-mutation characteristics and stability of the filter lens, which provided an experimental basis for the application of intelligent collimation assisted assembly and adjustment scheme in the upgrading of a high-power laser device.
