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?

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

• Presented on possible enclosure types.
• Decided to include laser power supply in enclosure.
