Abstract

AbstractBackgroundThere are some motion platforms for radiotherapy quality assurance. However, no platform with two drive systems that can move along three axes is available.PurposeThe purpose of this study is to develop a dynamic motion platform with two drive systems capable of three‐axis motion and to evaluate its motion performance.MethodsThe developed moving platform had two drive systems that use the same equipment. Each axis of the platform used can support a maximum load of 10 kg. The motors for moving the platform in each direction are capable of a drive stroke up to 40 mm. The drive speed is 30 mm/s at maximum load fluctuation. To evaluate the static positional accuracy of this system with an arbitrary input movement, the XYZ position of each axis was measured using a coordinate measuring machine operating from 0 to 40 mm at 10 mm intervals. In addition, the accuracy of dynamic motion was verified with Sine waveform inputs of different patterns to the three axes for approximately 60 s, and they were compared with the resulting detected signals by SyncTrax.ResultsThe two drive systems were successfully operated on three axes by using independent control systems. For static position, the accuracies were within 0.2 mm, 0.05 mm, and 0.14 mm for lateral, longitudinal, and vertical directions, respectively. For dynamic motion, the mean absolute errors in the X, Y, and Z axes between the platform inputs and SyncTrax detected signals were 0.14 ± 0.10 mm, 0.16 ± 0.12 mm, and 0.16 ± 0.11 mm, respectively.ConclusionsA new dynamic platform for radiation therapy with two drive systems capable of three‐axis motion was developed, and the positional accuracy of the drive axes was confirmed to be less than 0.2 mm.
