Patent number: 11090761Abstract: An actuator may include a stator, a pole; a bobbin; and windings provided around an exterior surface of the bobbin. The stator may include a stator body; and a plurality of magnets circumferentially arranged around an inner surface of the stator body. The stator, the pole, and the bobbin may be coaxial. An outer diameter of the pole may be smaller than an inner diameter of the bobbin such that the bobbin is movable in an axial direction over an exterior surface of the pole. An outer diameter of the bobbin may be smaller than an inner diameter of the stator such that the bobbin is movable in an axial direction inside the plurality of magnets circumferentially arranged around the inner surface of the stator body.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2019Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: THORLABS MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS INC.Inventors: Carl Brian Candiloro, Bradley Hunter, Kurt Sidor, Mark S.

Patent number: 10500676Abstract: An actuator utilizes a voice coil motor with one or more voice coil windings supported on a light weight moveable bobbin that connects at one end to move an object rapidly up to a small number of millimeters translationally along a system axis. The bobbin moves over a distal portion of a center pole of a stator, which supports the voice coil motor magnets. The pole, which acts as a flux path for the voice coil motor, also provides a thin film of air in a gap between the pole and the bobbin via an air path and corresponding holes at the distal end of the pole. The bobbin moves translationally relative to the pole on the thin film of air under the control of the voice coil motor.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2016Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: FARO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Carl Brian Candiloro, Bradley Hunter, Kurt Sidor, Mark S Longmuir

Patent number: 8711345Abstract: An annular position detection method provides a plurality of light emitters on a first imaginary circle centered on an axis, the emitters directing individual, well-defined, overlapping light beams to a pair of light detectors positioned on a second imaginary circle centered on that axis. The detectors include pairs of diametrically opposite photosensors producing outputs depending upon the areas thereof exposed to light from the emitters. A light blocker is rotatably mounted on the axis so that the blocker blocks light to different extents of the photosensors depending upon its orientation about the axis. The outputs from all of the photosensors are processed to produce a position signal that varies with the angular position of the blocker and the relative intensities of the emitters are adjusted so that the position signal is substantially linear at all operative angles of the blocker. Apparatus for practicing the method is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2012Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: Nutfield Technology, Inc.Inventors: Carl Brian Candiloro, Brian Patrick Stokes, Robert T.

Patent number: 8680429Abstract: Techniques are described for laser-scribing a feature on a surface in relation to a reference feature on that surface, such as a feature created by a previous placement of the laser beam. In particular, using a laser beam focusing and deflection system to direct a laser scribing spot onto a surface through an optical path, an optical detection system provides reliable detection of the position of an existing feature on the surface as viewed through the optical path of the deflection system. Based on feedback provided from the detection system to the deflection system, the position of the laser beam may be modified through the deflection system in relation to the viewed feature to scribe a subsequent feature on the surface which tracks the existing feature in real time. A method of scribing to accomplish the objectives is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2010Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Instrument Associates LLCInventors: Brian Patrick Stokes, Robert T. Milkowski, Jr., Carl Brian Candiloro
