Design Philosophy
The concept was to use industry standard building blocks and interfaces in order to maximize vendor competitve pricing and off-the-shelf inventory. The design approach was a combination of KISS (Keep it Simple Stupid) and TIMTOWTDI (There is more than one way to do it). The combination of these two design approachs allowed us to standardize on the mechanical and electrical layouts over all seven lasers using the same software user interface.
The Controller is basically bent sheet metal. There are 6 fabrication components to the controller. The front panel, which offers controls to the operator, the back panel which allows for power control connections and computer interface options, the body that holds the bottom plate for the power supplies and wiring and the top plate which holds the electronic control and interface boards. All the sheet metal fabrication and plates have been designed to accommodate all seven laser configurations.
As for the Laser Delivery Rail, they all incorporate a straight line optical path made up of 5 major fabrication parts. The base plate which is used to mount the laser, safety and optical components. the front plate which holds the scan head, the back plate, which is used to secure the cabling and wiring from the controller, the bottom plate which guards against outside access and offers mounting holes for the laser rail and the sheet metal cover. The Laser cover also incorporates operator lights and the air flow fan and filter for the rails optical components. The Laser rail comes in three different sizes to accommodate the seven laser configurations.
