Line 5: Line 5:
 * Hirata-san:
  * Made BS disposable wire clamp 3Dmodel and drawings.
  * Made ballast mass drawings for BS Bottomfilter and Standardfilter.
  * Made parts list and screw list for disposable wire clamp and ballast mass.
  * Sent drawings and lists to i-ject for quotation.
  * Start to make drawings for SR big parts (optical bench,damper rings,sus wires,cable clamps) - ongoing.
 * Mark, Fabian and Enzo (at Kamioka):
  * Realized that some of the imbalance in the BF was from the fishing rod and calculated a new set of blade offsets to center the rod but leave the torque from the FR to be cancelled by the trim mass for now.
  * Applied the blade offsets and checked that the BF hung as expected.
  * Found that the yoke was rubbing again and corrected it by putting it at an angle matching the keystone.
  * Found that the cables were adding too much stiffness and friction and rerouted them.
  * Found that the GAS was unstable and reduced the compression symmetrically to get 0.37 Hz.
  * Rebalanced the IM to set the right pitch, yaw and height.
  * Tested the IM picos. Unfortunately the pitch pico stuck near or at one end of its range and we will need to take the end plate off the IM to find out what is wrong.

==== Past week report ====
At Kamioka (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san):
 * We improvised a solution for ballast mass on the BF, using some heavy dog clamps meant for pedestals, washed and wrapped in foil. We we use them for the duration of the BS Test Hang and then swap them out for custom masses.
 * We put back the original BF jacks (replacing the cantilevered jacks that had been borrowed from the SF level to allow access to the BF blade screws).
 * We rearranged the BS rack, closing the gaps between boxes (per request of Miyakawa-san. We also renumbered some boxes, connectors and cables so as to use zero-based numbering (#0, #1, #2,...) throughout.
 * We routed the OSEM cables into the external cable rack (rather than through the PR2 area).
 * We connected up the BF LVDT, and BF fishing rod stepper motor.
 * We installed a signal generator for the LVDT.
 * We connected the super motor driver box to the Internet and attempted to set it up, but with no success so far.
 * We found the final picomotor driver (we have been using the one from TAMA in the clean booth).
 * We found many items that we will need soon, including the copper ring for the SF.
 * We found issues with the digital system (the computer driving the rack had been changed from k1pr2 to k1bs, which causes problems) and worked with DGS to fix them. It now mostly works but the real-time model crashes from time to time.
 
==== Plan for coming weeks ====
Next week:
 * Everyone (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san) at Kamioka, Monday-Thursday.
 * Work on electronics, possibly suspend and weigh BF.
Week after next:
 * Everyone (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san) at Kamioka, Monday-Friday.
 * Add SF and suspend BF.
