==== Report for week of 3/13 ==== At Kamioka (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Perry, Hirata-san): * We took a full set of TFs with the BF stationary but the IRM, IM, RM and TM all hanging. * We marked peeling or damaged areas on the clean booth floor for Furuta-san. * We installed the SF, measuring its weight in the process. * We found the crossbars supporting the SF jacks were too high to allow the SF ring to sit on the pillars while also being partially supported by the jacks. (This was an issue with the 3D CAD - the model of the NB-01 jack had a lower minimum height than reality.) We lowered the crossbars by 5 mm and put thicker spacers (12 mm instead of 3 mm) on top of the jacks supporting the SF and everything worked well. * We installed newly cleaned L-brackets under the BF and SF. * We installed a new-style cable clamp under the SF. (This was easier with the SF on the security structure, so we had not done it earlier.) * We installed the SF-BF rod and hex cable clamp. * We suspended the BF/IRM/IM/RM/BS section and found it was light, presumably because it had been trimmed according to the Promec measurement of the SF, not Hirata-san's later value. * We added extra ballast mass corresponding to the difference and found the BF section floated at a good height. * We moved trim mass around on the BF until it hung level, and adjusted the IRM and OSEMs until the IRM-IM EQ stops were well-centered and all the OSEMs were centered laterally and mid-range. * We ran 11 extra 20-m in-air cables from the tank towards the rack. (We will need to add 10-m extensions.) * We connected most of the cables to the vacuum flanges with screws and anti-feedthrough adapters. (Some remain to be done.) * We debugged a 900 Hz ringing in the BF LVDT, which turned out to be because the damping was enabled without appropriate filters or gains. * We debugged excess noise in the TM-H3 OSEM, which turned out to be mostly due to a faulty cable. However we worry that some of it may be due to some extensions made of non-vacuum-compatible ribbon cable which we added because the TM-H2 and -H3 OSEM cables are too short. * We installed new security structure parts at the RM level. * We found all the parts for the lower breadboard suspension, including the blades, blade bases, associated cable clamps etc. We also found the jigs for installing the blades. * Fabian finalized the BF ballast mass design and started on the SF. ==== Report for week of 3/21 ==== At Kamioka (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Perry, Hirata-san): * We took a full set of TFs with the SF stationary but the BF, IRM, IM, RM and TM all hanging. * We also did a TF from BF LVDT actuation and confirmed that it was working. * We got SUMCON running on Perry's computer and worked out how to do cut-down versions of Fabian's full Type-B model corresponding to the various partial configurations we have data for. |
==== Past week report ==== At Kamioka (Mark, Enzo, Hirata-san, Yoshioka-kun): * We disassembled the suspension. * We removed all the cables and bagged and labelled them for reuse. * The PI is parked on the pallet. * The SF was initially parked between the frame and tank and then manhandled to one side. The same procedure was used for the SF ring. * The BF was parked between the assembly frame and tank. The BF ring was stored in the top of the structure. * We removed various useful and no-longer-needed items from the BF, including the lower rod receptacle, thrust bearing, fishing rod and temporary ballast masses. * We cut the wires and removed the RM and dummy BS on the RM trolley. * The wire clamps were moderately deeply scarred and could probably be reused, but we plan to use the new set, which will be available on Tuesday of next week. * We discovered that the problem with the old BF was due to the fishing rod, which had not had a pair of lock nuts and had been damaged by being drive too high, so that the springs hit the underside of the cap and were bent at the base. We will install lock nuts and set them to the correct height for the final installation. * The gluing of the BS primary prisms and magnets went well, but we had to reglue the secondary prisms because they stuck to the jigs and were pulled off when the jigs were retracted. The second try went well and the BS is ready for use. * Fabian and Hirata-san characterized 7 new BS BF blades. There was one outlier but the rest were in a tight group. * Hirata-san used 3 of the new blades to build a new BF. * Miyo-kun and others from the Type Bp team did a lot of tidying up of the BS rack for us, and removed a lot of in-air cables running through the cleanbooth. When he returns, on 8/8, Enzo will coordinate relaying the cables in the cable trays (which were not installed when the initial cabling was done). |

==== Plan for coming weeks ==== For more detail, see [KAGRA/Subgroups/VIS/TypeB/ToDo]. 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, Enzo, Hirata-san, Yoshioka-kun):
- We disassembled the suspension.
- We removed all the cables and bagged and labelled them for reuse.
- The PI is parked on the pallet.
- The SF was initially parked between the frame and tank and then manhandled to one side. The same procedure was used for the SF ring.

- The wire clamps were moderately deeply scarred and could probably be reused, but we plan to use the new set, which will be available on Tuesday of next week.
- We discovered that the problem with the old BF was due to the fishing rod, which had not had a pair of lock nuts and had been damaged by being drive too high, so that the springs hit the underside of the cap and were bent at the base. We will install lock nuts and set them to the correct height for the final installation.
