| ==== Report for week of 4/9 ==== * We packed away the SRM SF and BF. * After several failed attempts with one secondary prism, Mark finished the SR3 prism/magnet gluing. * Tanioka-kun built two IRMs (less OSEMs). * Enzo built an RM. * Kozu-kun and Enzo calibrated one set of 6 IM OSEMs for SR3. (6 OSEMs for SRM remain to be done.) * Hirata-san aligned the assembly frame, installed the interface bars and IM ring, and installed the IM. * Eleonora and Izumi-san revisited the BS length to tilt coupling, which had degraded, and got it working again. |
==== Report for week of 5/7 ==== * We inspected the wires and clamps involved in the wire break. * The scars on the clamp on the tungsten wire that failed had very different depths, with the one that failed being much deeper, so probably the clamp piece was not completely straight before tensioning. However one wire on the other side was also badly crushed and on the point of failing, so the tension was clearly too much. * We decided on new torque specs of 2 N.m for the primary clamps (down from 5 N.m) and 10 N.m (down from 20 N.m) for the secondary. The secondary clamp spec, for M6 screws, is now based on the LIGO policy of using the maximum suggested for the screw and the LIGO value for a coated 1/4-20 screw (100 in-lb = 11.3 N.m), and the primary clamp spec is derated by 2/3 from the spec for an M5 screw because the clamp pieces are recessed and only grip the wire at narrow sections along the edges, concentrating the force. * None of the screws showed any signs of damage. * All of the scars on the primary clamps were shallow enough that could reuse the clamp pieces. The tungsten secondary clamps were never tightened, and the outer pieces of piano wire secondary clamps were badly scarred but could be reused upside down. * We successfully rehung the SR3 and RM. In the process we noticed and fixed an issue with the assembly frame (due to an out-of-date number in the Mirapro diagram, the IM crossbars were set 3 mm too high, which would have affected the wire length). * We added the sections of the security structure below the RM and up to the BF. * We installed the TM OSEM cables and routed them up to the IM. * We installed the load gauge adapter and load gauge and prepared the IM/... section for weighing. * We removed the three cracked F0 blades from the PI #3 in the SRM, and prepared for testing prototype new blades in that PI. We removed a floor panel under the PI and set up the filter service trolley underneath it with a stack of masses for a dummy load. |

Report for week of 5/7
- We inspected the wires and clamps involved in the wire break.
- The scars on the clamp on the tungsten wire that failed had very different depths, with the one that failed being much deeper, so probably the clamp piece was not completely straight before tensioning. However one wire on the other side was also badly crushed and on the point of failing, so the tension was clearly too much.
- We decided on new torque specs of 2 N.m for the primary clamps (down from 5 N.m) and 10 N.m (down from 20 N.m) for the secondary. The secondary clamp spec, for M6 screws, is now based on the LIGO policy of using the maximum suggested for the screw and the LIGO value for a coated 1/4-20 screw (100 in-lb = 11.3 N.m), and the primary clamp spec is derated by 2/3 from the spec for an M5 screw because the clamp pieces are recessed and only grip the wire at narrow sections along the edges, concentrating the force.
- None of the screws showed any signs of damage.
- All of the scars on the primary clamps were shallow enough that could reuse the clamp pieces. The tungsten secondary clamps were never tightened, and the outer pieces of piano wire secondary clamps were badly scarred but could be reused upside down.
- We successfully rehung the SR3 and RM. In the process we noticed and fixed an issue with the assembly frame (due to an out-of-date number in the Mirapro diagram, the IM crossbars were set 3 mm too high, which would have affected the wire length).
- We added the sections of the security structure below the RM and up to the BF.
