A Kawasaki Heavy Industries 6-axis robot with 110 kg payload. This is equipped with interchangeable end effectors with laser-based directed energy deposition (DED), fused granule fabrication (FGF), and milling capabilities.
A 2kW laser system (generator, fiber, and optical head) with 445nm +/- 20nm wavelength operating range. The head is equipped with wire feeding capabilities, making this system well-suited for laser-wire DED of reflective alloys with base constituents of copper, aluminum, and gold.
A Haas UMC 750 5-axis VMC equipped with directed energy deposition (DED) and fused granule fabrication (FGF) toolheads for hybrid additive-subtractive capabilities.
This is shared equipment within the IMSE department and Slater Lab.
JCM-6000 series benchtop SEM with backscatter and secondary electron detectors.
SC2+ high-speed camera from Edgertronic. This is equipped with a monochromatic detector and 400-700nm bandpass filter. Maximum FPS is 4,456 at 720p resolution and 31,191 at 1280 x 96 resolution. Accepts Nikon F-mount lenses.
We have several Basler C-mount machine vision cameras and various lenses for in-situ monitoring of manufacturing processes.
