In-Line FTIR Extrusion Analyzer

Created the complete CADAM drawing and manufacturing-release package for an infrared scanning system that measured moving plastic extrusion.

FTIR / InfraredScanning GaugeCADAMManufacturing Release

Full documentation ownership

The assignment covered the complete drawing package, translating an optical measurement concept into manufacturable system documentation.

System purpose

Scanned across a moving plastics-extrusion web without contact.
Used infrared measurement to evaluate thickness, composition, and uniformity.
Provided timely process information for production adjustment.
Integrated the scanner frame, optical head, electronics, controls, and line interfaces.

Engineering contribution

Developed the complete CADAM drawing set.
Documented optical-sensor packaging and mechanical interfaces.
Prepared parts and assemblies for manufacturing release.
Maintained consistency across the full documentation package.

Representative circa-1989 public-safe reconstruction. Exact optical paths, calibration methods, electronics, dimensions, and proprietary process interfaces are not reproduced.

Industrial spectroscopy

Placed precision infrared measurement into a working production-line instrument.

Complete release package

Connected parts, assemblies, interfaces, and drawing control into one manufacturing baseline.

Process value

Turned measurement data into timely production adjustment.
