Manufacturing Methods and Technology (MMTE) Measure for Fabrication of Low Voltage Start Sealed Beam Arc Lamps.
Abstract:
A program is in progress to establish a production capability for the purpose of meeting estimated military needs for the X6335, a 1kW sealed beam xenon arc lamp with low voltage starting mechanism. In accordance with the requirements of the contract, the first engineering sample lamp was delivered. A modification was made in the structual design of the Second Engineering Sample to correct a dimension problem on the First Engineering Sample. Additional refinements have been implemented to the second engineering sample for test and evaluation. A test device Driving Circuit Test Device was designed and fabricated for testing of lamp burn-in and lamp ignition requirements. This test device will aid in achieving the specified requirements.
