METROLOGY AND VISUALIZATION

  • 4D Visualization Software (4DVS-1200): Advanced software platforms that provide real-time, four-dimensional visualization of assembly and manufacturing processes. These platforms integrate data from multiple sensors to create dynamic models, helping engineers visualize and optimize workflows. In Kronos S.M.A.R.T., this software is used for virtual simulations and process optimizations.


  • Metrology Equipment (ME-1300): High-precision equipment including coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), laser interferometers, and white light scanners. These tools measure dimensions, geometries, and surface profiles with sub-micron accuracy, ensuring components meet stringent specifications. Used for quality assurance and verification of critical reactor parts.


  • Laser Systems for Diagnostics (LSD-1400): Laser-based systems such as laser Doppler vibrometers and holographic interferometers for non-contact, high-accuracy measurements. These systems provide detailed data on surface topography and structural integrity, essential for quality control in advanced manufacturing. They are vital for assessing the integrity of components in the fusion reactor.


  • Alignment Lasers (AL-1500): High-precision alignment lasers capable of achieving alignment accuracies within nanometers. These systems incorporate adaptive optics and interferometric techniques to ensure optimal alignment during assembly and inspection processes. Essential for the precise assembly of reactor components.


  • Simulation Software (SS-1600): Sophisticated simulation software that uses finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model and optimize manufacturing processes. These tools help predict performance and identify potential issues before physical prototyping. In Kronos S.M.A.R.T., they are used to simulate the behavior of reactor components under various conditions.


  • Control Software (CS-1700): Real-time control software with advanced algorithms for managing assembly and diagnostic systems. Features include adaptive control, fault detection, and predictive maintenance capabilities, ensuring efficient and reliable operations. This software is used to control and monitor the fusion reactor's operations.


  • Digital Twin Technology (DTT-1800): Technology that creates a digital replica of physical systems, allowing for detailed simulations and predictive maintenance. Digital twins are used to optimize performance, predict failures, and plan maintenance activities based on real-time data from sensors and monitoring systems. They are crucial for the continuous optimization and maintenance of Kronos S.M.A.R.T.


  • Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) Systems (ARVR-1900): AR and VR systems that provide immersive visualization and interaction. These systems are used for design review, training, and diagnostics, enabling users to interact with digital models in a virtual environment, enhancing understanding and decision-making. Used in Kronos S.M.A.R.T. for training and process visualization.
