High Speed Rotary Stage for Polarizers
drawoh, I've been looking at calculating the acceleration but it has been a minute since I have done it. acceleration = w/t correct? Change in angular velocity / change in time right? This seems to be the only viable solution, given they have absolute encoders and low propagation controller...- crgorman

High Speed Rotary Stage for Polarizers
3DDave, it will have varying degrees to reach. Anything between 0 and 90 degrees. Example, I could move to 23 degrees, then to 70 degrees, and then back to 10 degrees. This will occur for about 30 seconds. So precision bi-directional repeatability is a must. Thanks.- crgorman

High Speed Rotary Stage for Polarizers
Stuck on a problem. I need to spin a 1" polarizer optic 0 to 90 degrees in 0.007 seconds. If my math is correct (please correct me if I'm wrong) and I'm evaluating this in 360 degrees or 0.028 seconds/revolution, that is 2142.857 RPM or 35.714 RPS/HZ. ω = 2142.857 ( Revolutions)/minute × 6 =...- crgorman
