• Optics and Lighting
• BTM Frame
• BTM Automation
• Current Progress
• QA Session

3
Summary

• Objective produce a imaging system that is
  capable of capturing ink drops on the drum and on
  the paper at identical locations
• Current System clumsy to use, vibrates
  excessively, and the optical system fails to meet
  the desired image quality
• There is no specific imaging system that compares
  the drum images to paper images

Summary

Summary

• Oil is transferred from the maintenance roller to
  the drum before ink is transferred by the print
  head
• Ink transfer from drum to paper as the paper
  feeds between the transfix roller and drum

DODVS Final Frame Design

• Uses 3x6 inch T-Slot vertical supports
• ½ inch thick aluminum base and top plate
• Added gussets increase natural frequency

Optic Mounting Assembly

• Current system is heavy and cumbersome

15
Optic Mounting

• New system rotates camera to side with one easy
  step.

16
Optic Mounting (cont)
17
Optics

• Existing camera and optic components will be
  reused to reduce cost
• A second camera and optics will be purchased
• New optics system will have a magnification range
  of 3x to 21x

18
Lighting

• Metal Halide lighting is best option, but may be
  cost prohibitive
• Splitting current light source may be adequate

19
BTM Frame

• Same 3x6 inch T-Slot material
• Same ½ inch thick base and top plate
• Reuses DODVS camera brackets
• Features cover plates to hide messy electronics
  and wires.

20
BTM Automation

• XY Stage donated by Xerox, messy but it will
  work.
• Manual cranks will be added for a manual override
  feature
• EEs are currently working on motor driver
  operation and integration.

21
Current Progress

• DODVS and BTM frame designs are entering detail
  design stage, final drawings will be complete in
  a few weeks
• Final decisions on optics and lighting will be
  made this weekend, and ordered next week
• Manufacturing of the frame assemblies begin in 4
  weeks
• On track for June 1st completion date
