ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to an arrangement for controlling a movement and includes an arrangement wherein the an actuating manipulator provides an output signal proportional to displacement. The arrangement includes a circuit which multiplies the output signal by a factor F which is dependent upon the speed of the actuation. In this way, the manipulator is suitable not only for controlling very fine sensitive positioning; but it also allows a fast displacement of the driven part over large distances. With manipulators for controlling movements in more than one dimension, output signals are multiplied by the same factor for all coordinates in order that directional accuracy of the movement is guaranteed at all speeds. A track ball can be utilized as a manipulator, for example. The arrangement of the invention is applicable for manually positioning microscope tables, coordinate measuring machines and ophthalmic apparatus.
