P09701—Corning Tropel LightGage™ Metrology System P09701 In other words: (Tunable Laser) + (Infrared Camera) + (Math Algorithms) = 3 mjb8482@rit.edu
P09701—Corning Tropel LightGage™ Metrology System P09701 The Problem: The 1st generation LightGage™ only measures one side of a part… (Corning is also looking for engineers to hire) …Corning Tropel wants it to measure both sides… SO THEY GAVE IT TO US …but their engineers couldn’t figure out how to do it! 4 mjb8482@rit.edu
P09701—Corning Tropel LightGage™ Metrology System Master System Controller Controller (PC) Sensor Source Unit Parts Handling Sensor Our Task: Design, build and test a working prototype of the 2nd generation LightGage™ system. 5 mjb8482@rit.edu
P09701—Corning Tropel LightGage™ Metrology System Looks easy, doesn’t it? - Complete vibration isolation - Isolation from ambient temperature changes - Completely automated, motorized - Sensor must move to within < 1mm of top surface of part, every time - Must accurately measure part in under a minute - Anybody can use it Remember, Corning engineers couldn’t make it work. 6 mjb8482@rit.edu
P09701—Corning Tropel LightGage™ Metrology System Looking for engineers interested in: - Photonics/optics - Electronics, systems integration - Data acquisition, programming - Thermal analysis - Ergonomics, user interfacing - Mechanical design - Laser! interferometry - Getting a job 7 mjb8482@rit.edu
