9. Trimble
Optical Surveying Instruments
1996
Trimble's TTS™ Optical Survey Family,
including the TTS-500 and TTS-300, are
optical extensions to the GPS Total Station
family. With reflectorless EDM, the TTS-500
and TTS-300 are designed to work in areas
where GPS might not be the optimal solution.
Trimble's TTS series is ideal for areas where
GPS signals are obstructed, such as tunnels,
parking garages, dense forests as well as
building facades or dam faces that are
difficult or dangerous to reach. The TTS-500,
a 5-second instrument, and the TTS-300, a
3-second instrument, include unique, high-
performance features that improve
productivity and make the system easier to
use. Their unique mechanical design and
reflectorless technology speed up
measurements that would require
significantly more time with existing

11. SS/L
Flight Telerobotic Servicer
End Effector
1991
This end effector was designed
and used on the SS/L internal
Robotics Research manipulator to
demonstrate and investigate
space-servicing tasks. The
functionally equivalent DTF-1 end
effector can grip objects up to 4" in
diameter with a force of 0-50 lbs.
The mechanism incorporates a
brushless dc motor driving a
pancake harmonic drive gear set.
The output of the harmonic drive
operates a rack and pinion
attached to parallel jaw structures
mounted on cross-roller linear
bearings. When manipulating an
object two fail-safe brakes provide
two-fault tolerance against
inadvertent release of a work
piece or tool. Gripping force is
determined through a torque
transducer grounding the
harmonic drive, and positioning
sensing is accomplished through a
redundant optical encoder.

12. Varian
TWT Amplifier
Automated Fixture Station
1989
Under The Varian/USAF Tech-
nology Modernization Program
this prototype glue fixture
replaced a hand operation with
a calibrated adhesive dispenser
utilizing stepper motors to
control linear motion and PC I/O
to control fluid volume and
timing sequences. The assem-
bly fixture and automated station
reduced the fabrication time to
20% of the hand operation, and
increased yield by 70%.
Gridded Electron Gun Assembly Station
1987
A joint Technology Modernization Program
between Varian and the USAF provided an
opportunity to improve yields and reduce the
costs associated with the assembly of gridded
electronic guns. Historically this was a hand
operation, which required elaborate and costly
fixturing. If the sub-assembly’s alignment was
compromised, during the braising operation,
the units were scrapped. Using an optical
comparator and a YAG laser, the sub-
assembles were accurately aligned and welded
using the laser delivered through the alignment
lens. Alignment could thus be verified before
welding increasing yields to nearly 100%.
