MECHANICAL HARD STOPS WITH MOVABLE STOP MEMBERS

A mechanical hard stop for a sensor system includes a base for fixation to a gimbal or static structure (112), a movable stop member (138) for engagement with a fixed stop member (136), and an actuator. The movable stop member has a disengaged position, proximate the base, and an engaged position, s...

Zusammenfassung:A mechanical hard stop for a sensor system includes a base for fixation to a gimbal or static structure (112), a movable stop member (138) for engagement with a fixed stop member (136), and an actuator. The movable stop member has a disengaged position, proximate the base, and an engaged position, spaced apart from the base. The actuator is operably connected to the movable stop member to displace the movable stop member between the disengaged position and the engaged position according to a sensor selection received by the sensor system. Sensor systems and imaging methods are also described.
