MEES Department awarded measurement instrument

Categories: Departmental News

The William States Lee College of Engineering department of Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Science (MEES) was one of 12 institutions, who submitted an application to Gentec-EO and received an award.  Given the choice of many different awards, the MEES department selected the UP55N-300F-H12-INT-D0, which is a thermal detector for laser power measurement up to 300 W.

With the help of Dr. Jaime Berez, the MEES Department received this donation from Gentec-EO. This thermal detector will be used for diagnostics of the lasers on additive manufacturing machines in order to understand the impact of their off-nominal performance on the quality of the produced products.

The Gentec-EO company is a manufacturer of laser beam measurement technologies. They specialize in laser beam and terahertz source measurement and analysis. Gentec-EO offers the broadest range of off-the-shelf and custom solutions.
