Three-dimensional holographic imaging systems have found wide application in the field of security inspection, and have achieved the purpose of covering and inspecting carried foreign matters with no dead angle due to the capability of observing and imaging from multiple viewing angles as compared to the flat-plate imaging system. In order to achieve precise three-dimensional imaging, an object-under-test needs to be covered from multiple angles by adopting cylindrical scanning. Thus, higher requirements have been imposed on the servo rotary scanning system of three-dimensional holographic imaging. During the operation, a rotary frame for transceiving antenna modules needs to rotate within a certain range of angles and it needs to be ensured that the overall deformation or shaking of the rotary frame in the horizontal direction and the radial direction is below a certain threshold. Due to requirements for the imaging speed imposed by the market, the scanning speed of the three-dimensional holographic imaging system during the operation is relatively high, which results in a decreased stability at the start and stop of the scanning. Moreover, to cooperate with the accurate transmitting and receiving of the signal of the transceiving antenna module, it is also needed to ensure that the rotation of the motor and the transceiving of the transceiving antenna module are performed simultaneously at time sequence, and this imposes requirements for the real-time monitoring and the inspection of the servo control system. During the multiple reciprocating scanning processes of the servo control system, the start and end positions of each scanning have to be positioned accurately, a real-time output rotating angle of the motor and an actual rotating angle of the rotary frame should be fed back in time and the time delay of the feedback should satisfy certain requirements.

Specifically, the rotation direction sensor 80 may be an optoelectronic switch, a combination of two rotary encoders or other rotation direction sensors. The rotation direction sensor 80 mounted on the rotating axis and fixed on the fixing support 60 may adopt the optoelectronic switch, and takes 0° as a center zero position, wherein the negative angle is the negative direction, and the positive angle is the positive direction. The optoelectronic switch may distinguish the position and negative directions by outputting a high or low level, and the jumping point between the high level and the low level may be the center zero position. Alternatively, the rotation direction sensor 80 may adopt two rotary encoders, and the two rotary encoders may output two sets of pulses of which the phase difference is 90 degrees, and the rotation speed can be measured and the direction of the rotation can be determined according to the two sets of pulses.
