| + | ===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. | ||
