Solidworks Design |

I attached the Solidworks parts that I built. I put these together with the parts we are ordering from Thorlabs (they have the Solidworks parts on their website) and have an image of the assembly attached as well.
I spent today building the elements we want machined in Solidworks. We have a few pieces we need to get machined:
- Laser diode mount: This will hold the socket that Tara ordered (Thorlabs S8060), and we can easily replace the laser diodes in this socket since they are both the same package.
- Grating mount: The grating will be glued to the front of this, and a PZT will be used to adjust the distance. The PZT I am looking at is here (http://www.physikinstrumente.com/en/products/prdetail.php?sortnr=703300). Still need to check that this is our best choice, I'm shopping around more.
- Base/enclosure: We could either design our own base where the elements screw in solidly and put a lid on the structure, or we could use a commercial box (this one could work http://www.alliedelec.com/search/productdetail.aspx?SKU=70166638). Using a commercial box will only require minor modifications to the design. I want to talk to Tara about how easy it would be to modify a commercial box. The TEC will be attached to the base or box like the Birmingham group.
- I'm waiting on dimensions of the collimator so I can also build a collimator mount that the adjustable tube will sit in.
We're seeing if the current driver Dmass uses is from Thorlabs. If it is, it means the commercial driver is good enough and we can purchase this.
I haven't looked at tolerance values for shop processes yet because I'm not sure how important this is, or exactly how to do it. I know the general idea, but not sure how to deal with the actual calculations yet. I'll work on this more tomorrow once I talk to Tara again. |
