PRODUCTION ENGINEERING MEASURE. MICROELEMENT CRYSTALS.
Abstract
The research consisted of an analysis phase and a process implementation phase. The analysis phase, which entailed designing crystal microelements adaptable to production of 1760 units per month, was conducted by three participating vendors: Midland Manufacturing Company, Bulova Electronics Division and McCoy Electronics Company. The three vendors produced hermetic sealed packages of these reduced crystal sizes which were an order of magnitude smaller than the state-of-the-art in the industry. Small quantities of these devices were produced and tested. The results demonstrated improvements over the units made available under the Initial Program. These improvements included: lower package cost, improved crystal mounting procedures, and package sealing techniques. The Midland design was selected for the process implementation phase because this design demonstrated the smallest physical size, lowest estimated production costs and circumvented special module processing previously associated with modules containing crystals.
