Laser CutterPlease
DO NOT attempt to make repairs or adjustments to the laser cutters on your own.
If you encounter a problem, please note it in the log, and for something particularly serious, tag the machine as "Out of Service" and notify others about the problem via Google Groups or Slack.
There are a limited number of people around the lab that have the expertise to work on the machines. Unfortunately, there have been a few instances of well-meaning folks attempting to oil the machine, adjust the belts, or align the mirrors, etc. What's more, they did so without even noting their attempts in the log. This had the result of masking a developing problem or interfering with a repair that was already under way.
Stick to the regular cleaning that is part of the laser class training. Use the online log to note problems.
Electronics Area
If you think some test equipment needs repair or adjustment, we need to coordinate to make sure the repair is safe/effective, the adjustment is actually necessary, and problems are being tracked.
