The Plasma Arc Facility
The 300,000-watt Plasma Arc Lamp in the Infrared Processing Center (IPC) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is a unique piece of equipment. The lamp can deliver up to 3.5 kW/cm² over areas up to 35cm by 3.175cm. The technology utilizes the radiant output from a stabilized DC plasma for transient materials processing (to see more on the basics of this technology, review the January 2000 JOM publication). The lamp is mounted on a Cincinnati-Milacron model T3-776 robot using a Universal Robot Controller (URC) developed and built by Robot Workspace Technologies in Fort Meyers, FL. Using the robot in conjunction with the Plasma Arc Lamp allows for a variety of experiments to be performed in a short amount of time. Using the URC to program the robot results in a turn around time, between experiments that require different programs, of a matter of minutes. The robot also allows samples of various shapes and sizes to be processed using the lamp.
