Parallel Manipulator for Auto Tracking System: Virtual Prototyping Using LabVIEW- Solidworks

Abstract:

Free-space optics (FSO) communication is a technology that uses light to transmit data through free space. The most important part in FSO communication is the alignment between transmitter and telescope’s receiver. However, since the transmission medium of FSO is atmosphere, it will give misalignment between the transceivers. Hence, auto tracking system is required to solve the problem between the transmitter and receivers. The 3-RPS parallel manipulator has been designed as an auto tracking system for the alignment between transceivers. First, a prototype of the system is designed in SolidWorks and integrated with LabVIEW software to perform virtual prototyping. Then, the result of virtual prrotyping is discussed.
