CollapseResponsibilities

Ability to observe disparate circumstances in a project, and produce a correct assesment of the problem. Once the true problem is recognized, solutions are usually a lot easier to envision. A vibration problem was disruption our laser light curtain frofilometer, preventing acurate readings. By asking how the system was intended to work, I was able to narrow the problem down to a faulty mechanical slide assmebly that was introducing vibration into the assembly, disrupting accurate laser profiles.
