TWO-AXIS BEAM STEERING SYSTEM FOR USE IN AUTOMATED LIGHT FIXTURES

A beam steering mechanism for deflecting a light beam along any selected azimuth and elevational direction. The beam is movable without limitation about a pan axis (42) and about a tilt axis (48), by drive motors that are rigidly mounted to a housing (10) and are not bodily moved with the light beam...

Zusammenfassung:A beam steering mechanism for deflecting a light beam along any selected azimuth and elevational direction. The beam is movable without limitation about a pan axis (42) and about a tilt axis (48), by drive motors that are rigidly mounted to a housing (10) and are not bodily moved with the light beam. Movement about the pan axis (42) is effected by rotation of a first mirror (50) mounted in a first rotatable cylinder (40). Movement about the tilt axis (48) is effected by rotation of a second mirror (52) mounted in a second cylinder (46) that is panned with the first cylinder (40) and is itself mounted for rotation about the tilt axis (48).
