Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for verifying a magnetic positioning system. One embodiment includes a mounting unit, a drive unit, and a controller. The mounting unit is able to mechanically couple with a device that includes a magnetic sensor. The mounting unit includes a nonconductive mount to attach to the device, and a nonconductive swivel bearing with arms that are rotatably attached to the mount. The drive unit includes a platform, a nonconductive rigid post extending outward from the platform and attached to a center portion of the swivel bearing, linear actuators attached to the platform, and nonconductive shafts attached to the arms of the swivel bearing. Each shaft is attached to a linear actuator for displacement by the actuator. The controller directs the linear actuators to adjust the nonconductive shafts in order to move the swivel bearing, thereby adjusting an orientation and position of the device.
