The project aims to design a system to remotely control the sponsor’s lab experiments over the Internet. The system consists of several independent and modular linear movement stages that can be assembled in any configuration or anywhere on a standard optical table.
Stages can be built with a variety of movement distances, from 100 to 1000 millimeters of linear travel, ensuring versatility for a wide range of experiments. Stages connect to the electronics box to receive power and communication, or daisy chain to another stage. The electronics box is also the interface between the computer web server system and the stage experiment assembly.
Because all the stages’ mechanical interfaces are the same, any optics components that can be installed on a standard optical table can be installed on the stages and be moved by remote control over an internet connection.
