Project Background

The Mission:

Marc Cacioppo (pictured left), previously an ASML employee, designed this project to introduce fundamental concepts in the manufacturing industry.

-Tolerance Analysis -Machining -Flexures and Thumbscrews
Design and analyze a mounting configuration that can secure an optic with the required accuracy of +/- 50 microns in the X and Y directions with respect to a light source.

Problem Breakdown:

The X and Y datums of the optic (in this case two specific surfaces) must be positioned within +/- 0.05 mm (50 microns) from the X and Y datums of the light source (also two specific surfaces) from the nominal position.
