Target holder: Max Load Capacity 2 kg, Weight 0.2 kg

Component Specifications

Definition

A target holder is a specialized mechanical component within a mounting assembly designed to rigidly and precisely secure a target object, such as a calibration target, optical sensor, reference marker, or test specimen. It ensures repeatable positioning and alignment critical for accuracy in processes like machine calibration, quality inspection, optical measurement, and automated assembly. The holder typically interfaces with machine slides, brackets, or frames, providing adjustable or fixed mounting with minimal deflection or vibration.

Working Principle

The target holder operates on mechanical fixturing principles, using clamps, screws, or quick-release mechanisms to secure the target. It maintains positional stability through rigid construction and precise mating surfaces, often incorporating alignment features like dowel pins, slots, or adjustment screws to fine-tune orientation. In automated systems, it may integrate with actuators for dynamic positioning.

Materials

Common materials include aluminum alloys (e.g., 6061-T6) for lightweight rigidity, stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for corrosion resistance and durability, or engineered plastics (e.g., PEEK) for electrical insulation or low thermal expansion. Surface treatments like anodizing or passivation may be applied.

Engineering Analysis

Risks & Mitigation

Misalignment due to wear or loosening
Vibration-induced positional drift
Material corrosion in harsh environments
Over-tightening damage to target or holder

FMEA Triads

Trigger: Loose fasteners from vibration
Failure: Target displacement leading to measurement errors
Mitigation: Use thread-locking compounds, regular torque checks, and design with locking features

Trigger: Thermal expansion mismatch between holder and target
Failure: Alignment shift under temperature variation
Mitigation: Select materials with similar thermal coefficients or incorporate thermal compensation

Trigger: Contamination on mounting surfaces
Failure: Reduced repeatability and accuracy
Mitigation: Implement cleaning protocols and use protective covers
