- Scheduled design conference call for 7pm with my contact who is going to work on z-axis.
- Sent my rough SolidWorks mock-up of induction furnace design to electrical engineering friend who wants to run COMSOL simulations to help refine design specifications.
6 May 2014
- Continued familiarization with Lasersaur manual.
- More team collaboration on CNC Torch Table Project.
- Investigated ultrasonic rangefinder devices for z-axis sensing:
- Cheap USB sensor unit.
- Expensive module; integrated rangefinder and controller.
- Discussed CNC Torch Table project with personal contact who has agreed to assist us with the electronics and programming of an independent Z-axis controller system.
- Researched gas purification techniques for possible use in small-scale biogas reactor.
