P09701—Corning Tropel LightGage™ Metrology System
Background:
“Corning’s LightGage™ system is an advanced, full surface
interferometer for measuring flatness, parallelism and depth”

P09701—Corning Tropel LightGage™ Metrology System
The Problem:
The 1st generation LightGage™ only measures one side of a part…
P09701
…Corning Tropel wants it to measure both sides…
…but their engineers couldn’t figure out how to do it!
SO THEY GAVE IT TO US (Corning is also looking for engineers to hire)
Our Task:
Design, build and test a working prototype of the 2nd generation LightGage™ system.

Looks easy, doesn’t it?
- Complete vibration isolation- Isolation from ambient temperature changes- Completely automated, motorized- Sensor must move to within < 1mm of top
surface of part, every time- Must accurately measure part in under a
minute- Anybody can use it

Remember, Corning engineers couldn’t make it work.
Looking for engineers interested in:
- Photonics/optics- Electronics, systems integration- Data acquisition, programming- Thermal analysis- Ergonomics, user interfacing- Mechanical design- Laser! interferometry- Getting a job
