==Group Minutes== Please post these here: ===November 9, 2010=== Continued enclosure design: * Using a hose barb through the aluminum plate for the water connection * This could reduce the chance of coolant leakage. Overall the new features that were mentioned as being required are: * Reduced vibration * Conventient and ease of open and closing of enclosure * Laser diode to aid in alignment (precise with direction of actual laser) * Enclosure to block light/oil/damage * Stand up and bolt in place * Keep laser tube positioned inside * Place for enclosure to extend to next mirror * Ventilation for power supply * Indicatior that power is on * Safety interlocks/key switch * Materials: galvanized steel, anodized aluminum, or PVC? ===November 3, 2010=== Presented new ideas that should be added to the current enclosure: * Triagonal stabilizer instead of hose clamps to secure the laser tube in place. * Legs should be added to ensure stability * Vibration dampening with rubber feet or plastic inserts * 1/4" tolerance in laser beam alignment * Minimize number of axes to ensure reliable alignment ===October 20, 2010=== * Presented on possible [[Laser Enclosure|enclosure]] types. * Decided to include [[Laser Power Supply|laser power supply]] in enclosure.
