| * We removed the BF cap to debug the stepper motor. We checked the cabling but didn't find a problem. Eventually toggling the power to the driver box seemed to fix it. * We got the wheels removed from the two tall stepladders. * We started to rebalance the IM but came to realize that it was unstable for more than trivial pitch and roll (and had been for some time). We moved trim mass from top to bottom and it became unconditionally stable. * We rebalance the IM, put back the IRM and adjusted the OSEMs. * We took a successful TF in IM-L. * We added the security structure ring for below the SF and then added the SF. We noticed the cap is on at the wrong angle (so the keystone lock screws are inaccessible) but we can easily fix that. |
* We craned in the PI. * We assembled the thrust bearing holder that receives the PI-SF rod. (The recess for the bearing was very slightly too small and had a burr near a retaining screw hole that prevented the bearing from seating properly, and so it required filing and re-cleaning.) * We hooked the SF and lowered the jacks under the SF to suspend the SF/... section. * The top filter rose when unlocked, and required about 1.8 kg to send it back down. Therefore we may be OK - the top filter seems to have about 8 kg more capacity than as measured by G&M. The hex cable clamp (≈0.25 kg) and the cables between the PI and SF still have to be added, but we can get an extra 3 kg by removing one of the three Cu damper segments (and rearranging the other two). * Hirata-san built and installed three LBB blade units. * Enzo kept debugging the SF LVDT.

| ==== Plan for coming weeks ==== Next week: * Everyone (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Perry Hirata-san) at Kamioka, Monday-Friday except for Hirata-san Wednesday-Friday). * Finish SF installation. * Finish BF cabling, hang BF/IRM/IM/RM/BS from SF and confirm weight matches load capacity. * Re-trim BF as necessary. * Get picomotor driver working. Week after next: * Everyone (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san) at Kamioka, Monday-Friday. * Prepare for PI installation. |

Past week report
At Kamioka (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Perry, Hirata-san):
- We craned in the PI.
- We assembled the thrust bearing holder that receives the PI-SF rod. (The recess for the bearing was very slightly too small and had a burr near a retaining screw hole that prevented the bearing from seating properly, and so it required filing and re-cleaning.)
- We hooked the SF and lowered the jacks under the SF to suspend the SF/... section.
The top filter rose when unlocked, and required about 1.8 kg to send it back down. Therefore we may be OK - the top filter seems to have about 8 kg more capacity than as measured by G&M. The hex cable clamp (≈0.25 kg) and the cables between the PI and SF still have to be added, but we can get an extra 3 kg by removing one of the three Cu damper segments (and rearranging the other two).
- Hirata-san built and installed three LBB blade units.
- Enzo kept debugging the SF LVDT. We repaired several broken wires, but it's still not behaving correctly. We suspect the ordering of the three coils (input output and excitation) may not be right. If so, we should be able to fix it with an adapter cable without removing the SF cap.
