Ok, next let's take a look at the collimation plate...CAD rendering. I'm working on attaching the Rendering, not like attaching a picture
It has 3 two point pivots to suspend the mirror, with 1" diameter pads at the ends that sit on ball ends so that there will not be any binding...
Included is the mirror support tube in the center, this goes out the back and is centered in the mirror back plate with a metal o-ring to keep it centered in the back plate when collimating...
Notice the second slots from the ends of the three arms...these have an oilite bronze incert that can rotate slightly during collimation. These will be the tightening cap screws that oppose the push secrews that will push against the back side of the outer 3 holes on the arms...
The diameter at the edge of the arms is 18.5" and the thickness of the cast aluminum tooling plate is 1.25"
This collimation plate will likely be the first to get machined early next week.
Regards,
Preston
