Containerized systems
Containerized systems are provided. In one embodiment, a containerized system includes a moveable three-dimensional container, a first generator, a second generator, and a scanner. The first generator is located within the container, and the second generator is located outside of the container. The scanner is mechanically supported by the container and transmits waves received from the first and the second generators. The containerized system optionally includes one or more rails connected to the outside of the container, and the scanner moves along the one or more rails. The containerized system may also include a multi-axes arm that positions the scanner and that is mechanically supported by the container. Furthermore, the containerized system may include an interferometer, an electronics rack, and/or an air conditioning unit.
1. A containerized system comprising:
a moveable three-dimensional container;
a first generator that is located within the container;
a second generator that is located outside of the container; and
a scanner that is mechanically supported by the container and that transmits waves received from the first and the second generators
a stationary mirror that is attached to a fixed position on an outer surface of the container;
a moving mirror that moves with respect to the outer surface of the container; and
wherein the scanner, the stationary mirror and the moving mirror are configured to receive electromagnetic waves that are generated by the first generator and that are reflected by the stationary and the moving mirror.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein one or more rails are connected to the outside of the container, and wherein the scanner is moveable along the one or more rails.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the scanner is positioned utilizing a multi-axes arm that is mechanically supported by the container.
4. The system of claim 1 , and further comprising:
an interferometer that is located within the container.
5. The system of claim 1 , and further comprising:
an electronics rack that is located within the container.
6. The system of claim 1 , and further comprising:
an air conditioning unit that is mechanically supported by the container.
7. The system of claim 1 , and further comprising:
modular panels configured to be connected to each other to form a work cell.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein at least one of the modular panels is configured to be connected to the container to form a portion of the work cell.
9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the modular panels are configured to form a work cell formed separately from the container.
10. The system of claim 1 , and further comprising:
a second moving mirror that moves with respect to the outer surface of the container and that reflects electromagnetic waves from the stationary mirror to the moving mirror.
11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the container comprises a modified shipping container.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the container comprises a custom design trailer.
13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the container includes one or more apertures for transferring gas to the first generator.
14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the container includes one or more apertures for transferring heat exchange fluids to the first generator.
15. The system of claim 1 , wherein one or more panels of the container have interlocks configured to power down the first generator.
16. The system of claim 1 , wherein the scanner is carried by a carriage that moves the scanner with respect to the outer surface of the container.
17. The system of claim 1 wherein the first generator is a gas laser generator, wherein the second generator is a solid state laser generator, and wherein the scanner is configured to transmit electromagnetic waves received from the gas laser generator and the solid state laser generator.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the gas laser generator is a carbon dioxide laser generator.
19. The system of claim 17 , wherein the solid state laser generator is a Nd:YAG laser generator.
20. The system of claim 17 , wherein the solid state laser generator is a Yb:YAG laser generator.
21. The system of claim 17 , and further comprising:
modular panels configured to be connected to each other to form a work cell.
