INSTRUMENT SHOP MODULE

仪器车间模块位于新装修的800平方英尺的设施，位于 凯洛格眼科中心。该空间是本模块在此授予期间获得的，并说明了 眼科和视觉科学系承诺支持核心设施 中心在2005年之前，这个模块只有320平方英尺的空间，分散在邻近的几个房间里。 研究塔八楼的动物园空间的显著扩大导致了 更高的效率，因此，该模块的生产率提高了约40%。 以前，每次项目需要大型设备时，都要费力地移动 从储藏室搬到工作室现在，仪器制造商可以快速地从一台机器转移到另一台机器 并且还可以同时使用多个机器。乐器店不会搬到 2010年新建。 本模块中的设备包括一台带Mitsuyo读数器的改装Harding车床（型号HLV）;一台布里奇波特 铣床（型号J280843），配备42”标准工作台和12”Yuasa旋转工作台，伺服电源，以及 无级变速器;金属立式带锯; Tennsmith直角剪; Tennsmith手刹;以及 用于仪器设计目的的个人计算机、CAD软件和激光打印机。 仪器车间的工作人员是Scott Szalay，全职仪器制造商II，他在2009年担任该职位。 过去13年。他非常擅长与参与调查的研究人员一起设计各种非商业性的 NEI支持的研究项目所需的可用设备。Szalay先生的许多 多年的实践经验使他能够熟练地制造各种各样的设备。

The Instrument Shop Module is housed in a newly renovated 800 square-foot facility on the first floor of the Kellogg Eye Center. This space was acquired by this Module during this granting period and illustrates the commitment of the Department of Ophthalmology and Vision Sciences to supporting the facilities of the Core Center. Prior to 2005, this Module had only 320 square feet of space dispersed in several rooms adjacent to the Vivarium on the 8th floor of the research tower. The significant augmentation of space has resulted in greater efficiency and, as a result, the productivity of this Module has increased by approximately 40%. Previously, each time a large piece of equipment was required for a project, it had to be laboriously moved from a storage room into the workroom. Now the instrument maker can rapidly move from machine to machine and can also have multiple machines in use simultaneously. The Instrument Shop will not be moving into the new building in 2010. Equipment in this Module includes a rebuilt Harding lathe (model HLV) with Mitsuyo readouts; a Bridgeport milling machine (model J280843) with a 42" standard table and a 12" Yuasa rotary table, servopower, and infinitely variable speed; a metal vertical band saw; a Tennsmith squaring shear; a Tennsmith hand brake; and for instrument design purposes, a personal computer, CAD software, and a LaserJet printer. Staffing the Instrument Shop is Scott Szalay, a full-time Instrument Maker II, who has held this position for the past 13 years. He is very proficient at working with participating investigators to design a variety of noncommercially available devices that are necessary for NEI-supported research projects. Mr. Szalay's many years of practical experience allow him to expertly fabricate a wide range of devices.
