The invention discloses a large-aperture
telescope shafting angle detection method based on an arc
grating encoder. The method comprises the following steps of: tensioning and mounting a linear
grating ruler along the circumference of a shaft
system turntable to form an arc
grating body; n reading heads are uniformly arranged along the circumference of the rotation direction of the shaft
system, the rotation position information of the shaft
system is read, the effective range of the arc grating is calculated and converted into angle information, and the resolution of the arc grating is calculated; installing a full-circle grating, obtaining the detected shafting rotation position information, comparing the detected shafting rotation position information with the arc grating angle detection information, and verifying the
correctness of the position information obtained by the arc grating. The arc grating is used for replacing an angle measurement grating, the measuring range and the resolution of the arc grating can be accurately obtained, the
correctness of information obtained by the arc grating is verified through the concentric-shaft full-circle grating, the closed-loop effect does not exist, the
machining difficulty is low, meanwhile, the length of the grating ruler can be selected according to the rotation range of a shaft system, and the
measurement precision is high. And the installation and adjustment difficulty is reduced.
