Manufacturing Methods and Technology (MMTE) Measure for Fabrication of Low Voltage Start Sealed Beam Arc Lamps
Abstract
A program is in progress to establish a production capability for the purpose of meeting estimated military needs for the X6335, a 1 kW sealed beam xenon arc lamp with low voltage starting mechanism. In accordance with the requirements of the contract, the second engineering sample was delivered. The safety requirement to avoid damage from explosion or overpressure has been achieved in the fabrication of the depressurize plug. The rupture disc within the depressurize plug has met the blowout specifications to function above the normal operating pressure of the lamp and below the lamp's explosion point. A xenon lamp optical and cooling assembly was designed and fabricated for adaptability in searchlight applications.
