Challenge: handling optical assembly
This project presented several challenges. Firstly, finding a supplier of lenses is a task that requires some expertise. Lens manufacturing is a challenging and specialised field, making it important for buyers to pay extra attention.
For the optical device to function properly it is important to keep the lens clean throughout the entire assembly. Therefore, the integration of the lens happened in a low-dust room.
In the assembling of the lens, we had to test different methods of glueing. This was in order to guarantee that the lens stays fixed. Furthermore, we developed a new method of testing if the lens was glued on properly and would remain so.
Result: detailed work instructions
After adjusting the assembling and the testing methods, the customer acquired two things: intricate work instructions about the module assembly and the optical product itself.
The work instructions are our way of ensuring that all assembly operators know exactly how the processes run. This detailed documentation safeguards the quality of the product as well as the efficiency of the manufacturing.
