Project MD19D: Medical Laser System Design Review & Improvement
Project MD19D is a critical design review and improvement initiative for a customer’s work-in-progress medical laser system. The project addressed significant challenges hindering the product’s readiness for mass production and overall performance reliability.
Initial Challenges:
The customer’s initial prototype exhibited several key issues impacting its viability:
- Unstable Laser Output Power
- Inaccurate Laser Power Measurement
- Production Quality Inconsistencies
- Design Not Optimized for Mass Production Scalability
- Low Overall Production Yield
Our Approach & Solutions:
To overcome these hurdles, our team undertook a comprehensive analysis and improvement program. This involved three core phases:
- Architectural Analysis: A thorough review of the existing system architecture to identify root causes of performance limitations.
- Operational Data Diagnostics: Detailed examination of runtime data to pinpoint specific areas requiring attention and validation opportunities.
- Improvement Proposals & Validation Experiments: Development and rigorous testing of targeted solutions.
- Laser Driving Board Performance Improvements: Optimization of the laser driving board circuitry and control algorithms to enhance power stability and accuracy.
Following successful experimentation and validation, we implemented these improvements into a refined design. This resulted in a significantly more robust and production-ready medical laser system. Further details regarding specific performance gains are available upon request.
