SileX: Analysis of Requirements Document

This lecture covers the analysis of the requirements document for the SileX project, focusing on the design and optimization of the scanning mechanism, mirror guidance, and position sensors. It discusses the need for precision, resolution, and speed in machining, as well as the importance of dynamic balancing and minimizing parasitic elements. The lecture also delves into the actuator specifications, including force calculations and stress conditions, as well as the integration of non-contact position sensors. The design points for the mirror guidance mechanism and the kinematic structure are highlighted, emphasizing the avoidance of hyperstatisms and internal degrees of freedom. The goal is to maximize machining speed while ensuring precision and minimizing friction.
