Line 8: Line 8:
 * Hirata-san did an inventory of SR and other parts at Kamioka.
 * Mark and Enzo finalized the geometry matrices for the IP, entered them in MEDM and updated the safe.snap.
 * Mark, Enzo and Fabian worked with Izumi-san et al. to align the BS. We got the +Y beam fairly close to aligned (to the second gate valve, near IY).
Line 9: Line 12:
 * Inspected LLB in tank - in a good position, but not very clean - apparent water spots and dirt.
 * Found the geophone adapter plates.
 * Retested SF FR stepper - still good.
 * Finally got SF LVDT working:
  * Found a short in the primary coil due to Al foil used for mechanical reinforcement at vacuum feedthrough connection.
  * Did a full calibration and found that linear range was too small (0.75 mm!) and did not cover nominal keystone height.
  * Decreased gain to increase linear range.
  * Adjusted the height of the yoke and secondary coil unit to center the linear region around the nominal keystone height.
  * Implemented velocity damping.
 * Found all parts for the LBB and damper rings.
  * Cu segments and some other parts were very dirty - wiped carefully for now, but should be properly cleaned before final install.
  * Outrigger parts for LBB have M16 thread cut directly into Al but should have had M16 helicoils. This is a galling risk with Ag-coated rod receptacles. Hirata-san organized rework.
  * Some special lock nuts are in short supply and are being borrowed from supply at ATC for next batch of BFs.
 * Made remaining two geophone in-air descrambler cables (total three).
 * Installed a thermometer supplied by Kokeyama-san on the tower around the BS tank.
 * Prepared the SF damper.
  * Designed a pattern of magnets for the two-segment arrangement of SF damper and laid it out on the magnet ring with the template.
  * Moved the Cu segments on SF cap by 30° (the cap had not been in the right position earlier).
 * Reinstalled PI:
  * Raised the PI with the crane and hooked the SF damper ring. Some of the rods did not fit the receptacles due to tolerance issue, but by going through a large number of rods and receptacles, we found three working sets.
  * Craned the PI onto the frame and suspended the SF/... section, this time with the hex cable clamp on the F0-SF rod.
  * Tensioned the PI yaw return spring, installed (but did not cable) the yaw stepper and adjusted the yaw of the SF/... section. We worry the return spring is not stiff enough.
  * Installed (but did not cable) the geophones.
  * Recentered the IP. The extra weight from the geophones (≈42 kg) and SF damper ring (≈17 kg) had brought the IP to near the point of instability, so we removed one arc weight (≈17 kg) and rearranged the other two in the top row to be symmetrical.
  * Added ballast to set the height of the F0 keystone. We now have about 6 kg in hand (due to removing one of the Cu segments for the SF damper). This should be enough margin for cables, temperature fluctuations etc.

Kamioka: Mark and Enzo
 * Continue alignment of BS.
 * Realign OL.
 * Work on servos.
Line 38: Line 19:
Week of 5/29, 6/6:
 * Cabling:
  * Route BF/... cabling up past SF to PI.
  * Route SF cabling up to PI.
  * Add Type 3 extensions to SF/... cables.
  * Move vacuum flanges to positions on assembly frame more convenient for next stage (accessible from second floor, one on each corner of frame).
  * Move in-air cabling to match flange positions.
  * Cable and test PI vertical LVDT.
  * Calibrate PI vertical LVDT.
  * Set yoke on PI vertical LVDT (if necessary).
  * Cable and test PI yaw stepper.
  * Cable and test PI vertical stepper.
  * Cable and test PI horizontal steppers.
  * Cable and test PI horizontal LVDTs.
  * Calibrate PI horizontal LVDTs.
 * Crane into tank.
Mitaka: Fabian and Hirata-san
 * SR procurement.
 * New PI GAS FR design.
 * BS LBB ballast mass design.
 * SR cable lamp design.
