Test results of the SDSS-V fiber micro-positioners

摘要

This paper will focus on the testing, validation and performance of the ongoing SDSS-V fiber positioners production. The tested critical parameters include positioning accuracy calibration and validation, fiber misalignment control as well as lifetime test and thermal reliability check over the large temperature scale encountered in the telescopes. The presented results give a good overview on the general design performance and on the general reliability the complete robotic positioning system will achieve.
