Module Assembly Module assembly times per plate one

Module Assembly • Module assembly times per plate (one person): à à à à Mount frames on assembly plate (pre-inspected and barcodes attached) Inspect and place sensors on supply plate Inspect and place hybrids on assembly plate Database entry of module components Mixing glue, loading syringes and applying silver epoxy Take a deep breath, review “before starting gantry program check list” Run gantry assembly program and move plate to curing cabinet After cure survey (OGP) and loading on to carrier plates 5 min 15 min 10 min 15 min 2 min 45 min 107 min • With two people many of these items could be done in parallel 1

Module Assembly • Rough module assembly timeline using two people for producing 15 modules / day. (this probably could be increased for short periods, but over the long run it would be hard to do more than this in an 8 hour day) Technician One: Technician Two: 8 -9: 00 Survey modules install into carrier plates for 5 plates (50 min) Load assembly plate, DB entry, glue prep (50 min) 9 -9: 45 Run 1 st assembly plate (45 min) Prepare 2 nd assembly plate* Break 10 -10: 45 Run 2 nd assembly plate Prepare 3 rd assembly plate 11 -11: 45 Run 3 rd assembly plate Prepare 4 th assembly plate 12 -1: 00 Lunch 1 -1: 45 Run 4 th assembly plate Prepare 5 th assembly plate 2 -2: 45 Run 5 th assembly plate Prepare parts for next day’s assembly plates Break 3 -5: 00 Make-up time for assemblies with problems *Need second PC for Data entry Receive parts, DB transfers, maintenance, etc. 2
