METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING LARGE-SIZE SCANNED REFLECTORS AND CURVILINEAR REFLECTOR SURFACE SHAPING DEVICE Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC H01Q15/16 

FIELD: reflector manufacture.

SUBSTANCE: load-bearing frame is adjusted on assembly rig by means of curvilinear reflector surface shaping device by finishing support posts of load-bearing frame to bring them in contact with adjustable-height parts of curvilinear reflector surface shaping device; position of contact points and support points are marked on parts of the latter; then curvilinear reflector surface shaping device is mounted on reflecting surface shaping facility, reflecting surface blank is pulled onto the latter taking care to provide for its support by parts of curvilinear reflector surface shaping device, and position of support points is transferred from device parts to blank. Then curvilinear reflecting surface shaping device that carries blank pulled thereon is mounted on load-bearing frame, this being followed by blank fixation thereon. Curvilinear reflecting surface shaping device has base in the form of central hub with radial ribs secured thereon to mount adjustable-height parts. Base surface on parts mounting side is equidistant to reflector active surface.

EFFECT: enhanced precision of transferring support points of reflecting surface to load-bearing frame.
