Design of Automated Locking Device for Geometry Test Equipment in Fiber Optic Connectors Through Interferometry

Abstract

In this project, an improvement will be made to reduce the costs for the purchase and repair of measurement fixtures that are used in the equipment that performs the geometry test. This improvement was decided to be implemented since there are constant replacements of measurement fixtures in a brief period, which causes them to have to buy more fixtures because the stock in the warehouse runs out quickly. The stock in the warehouse runs out quickly because the fixtures that are damaged are sent to be repaired by the supplier, therefore, they have an estimated return time. When a measurement fixture is damaged very quickly, it causes it to have to be replaced immediately; that means that the stock is running out because the fixtures that were sent for repair have not yet arrived, causing more to be purchased urgently.
