ROBOTIC SYSTEM FOR CHARACTERISATION OF THE ANGULAR RESPONSE IN RADIOMETRIC INSTRUMENTS

摘要

The invention relates to a system specially designed to obtain results with high reliability, resolution, precision and rapidity in order to determine the angular response of the instrument in question and to provide immunity to the electromagnetic and light noise generated by the experiments. For this purpose, the system is formed by a robotic arm (4) enabling the automated rotation of the instrument to be characterised from +90° to -90°, said robotic arm being associated with a PC (1), a control panel (3) and a digital multimeter (2) by means of a series of electronic circuits. The robotic arm (4) is provided with means for securing the instrument to be characterised, while the PC includes a programming software package which, with the aid of a digital positioner, enables the positions of the robotic arm (4) to be obtained with high precision, as well as enabling the cosine error of the device to be calculated using the measurements received from the multimeter (2).
