Abstract
An apparatus according to one embodiment includes an actuator mechanism having a first crossbar oriented along an x-axis, a second crossbar oriented along a y-axis that is perpendicular to the x-axis, and at least one actuator coupled to each of the crossbars. The actuator mechanism is configured to provide controlled movement and setting of x-axis and y-axis angles of the crossbars in vertical planes extending along the respective axis. An apparatus according to another embodiment includes an actuator mechanism for controlling orientation of an item suspended from the actuator mechanism. The actuator mechanism has at least one load leveler for providing controlled movement of the item in an x-axis angle and/or a y-axis angle.
Claims12
An apparatus, comprising:
- an actuator mechanism having a first crossbar oriented along an x-axis, a second crossbar oriented along a y-axis that is perpendicular to the x-axis, and at least one actuator coupled to each of the crossbars, the actuator mechanism being configured to provide controlled movement and setting of an x-axis angle and a y-axis angle of the respective crossbars in vertical planes extending along the respective axis.
An apparatus, comprising:
- an actuator mechanism for controlling orientation of an item suspended from the actuator mechanism, the actuator mechanism having:
- at least one actuator coupled to a crossbar for providing controlled movement of the crossbar in an x-axis angle thereby controlling an x-axis angle of the item, and
- a load leveler for providing controlled movement of the item in a y-axis angle.
An apparatus, comprising:
- an actuator mechanism for controlling orientation of an item suspended from the actuator mechanism, the actuator mechanism having:
- a first load leveler for providing controlled movement of the item in an x-axis angle, and
- a second load leveler for providing controlled movement of the item in a y-axis angle.
