• Mission Statement …to develop a system around the Light. Gage sensors that would allow for both sides of an object to be measured automatically and simultaneously. In order to achieve this, two LG sensors will be aimed at one another. Again, a maximum part diameter of 40 mm will be used for the dual-headed system. The team will need to develop a fixture capable of supporting the two heads as well as the part being measured, to the tolerances and specifications agreed upon.

• Mission Statement Which means: Convert 1 st generation Light. Gage System… …Into 2 nd generation Light. Gage System Images Courtesy of Corning Tropel Planning Concept Development Issues & Risks EDGE™

• Staffing Requirements Name Discipline (qty) TBD Student Mechanical Engineering (2) TBD Student Electrical Engineering (2) TBD Student Industrial & Systems Engineering (1) Planning Concept Development Issues & Risks EDGE™

• Staffing Requirements Role / Skills: Mechanical Engineering (2) • Students will be involved extensively in mechanical design, documentation, and fabrication for the 2 nd generation Light. Gage. Areas of focus include materials research and selection, thermal and structural analysis, and aiding in part/motor selection. Technical drawing packages, computer models, and bill of materials will need to be generated. Students will also aid in system integration and manufacturing documentation. Those interested in materials, fabrication, and vibrations analysis may find this project appealing, as environmental isolation and material selection is critical to the success of this project. An eye for detail will also be valuable to this project. Planning Concept Development Issues & Risks EDGE™

• Staffing Requirements Role / Skills: Electrical Engineering (2) (1) • Students will be asked to perform electrical system design for the 2 nd generation Light. Gage Metrology System. Tasks include circuit design, simulation, and testing, part selection (motors, power supplies, etc. ), as well as extensive hardware/software integration. Students will be involved in extensive computer interfacing and programming—adapting Corning Tropel’s Light. Gage software and control system to work with new hardware. Other tasks include system verification, debug, and electrical system documentation. Planning Concept Development Issues & Risks EDGE™

• Staffing Requirements Role / Skills: Industrial & Systems Engineering (1) • Student will be asked to perform an array of tasks for this project, including feasibility and manufacturability studies, materials research and selection, and technical documentation. Due to the user-intensive nature of this Light. Gage system, ergonomics and ease-of-use assessments will be very important, and need to be implemented in the design. There will also be a focus on experimental design and planning in an effort to determine how the product will be tested for accuracy, repeatability and reproduceability of measurements. Student may be called on to aid in fabrication of final prototype and system integration. Planning Concept Development Issues & Risks EDGE™

• Intellectual Property Considerations • Due to the commercial nature of this project, this issue is hard to resolve. • However, an agreement between Corning Tropel and RIT must be made before this project can run. Planning Concept Development Issues & Risks EDGE™
