| ==== Report for week of 6/18 ==== * Mark checked the health of the suspensions after an earthquake on Monday morning. The BS watchdog tripped and there was a few µrad change in the pointing, but otherwise it was fine. SR3 and SR2 were also fine. * Mark, Enzo and Terrence finalized the trim mass on the BF to set the SF keystone height and BF pitch/roll. * They weighed the SF/... section. With no internal trim mass in the SF but with the flying saucer and rod, but with 2 Promec masses for rough balance, it was 255.4 kg, so allowing 1 kg for cables and fine trim mass, we would like a PI load capacity of 256.4 kg. * Enzo and Terrence cabled and tested the SF fishing rod, and reversed the connections on the SF LVDT actuation to bring it to standard polarity. * Mark and Enzo made many improvements to the Type B MEDM screens. * Enzo and Mark measured the BF and SF bounce frequencies (with the other keystone locked). * Enzo replaced a HPCD that seemed to have failed during the bounce test (but had just had a watchdog trip), and then replaced the replacement, which really did fail. It turns out we need to avoid applying more than about 25000 counts of GAS actuation. * Enzo offloaded the BF LVDT actuator with the BF FR to remove the need for a 10000 ct offset. * Hirata-san and Kozu-kun struggled to tune the top filter for SR3 - see klogs 5310, 5324, 5337, xxxx. At first the results were somewhat unrepeatable, with high frequency and low load capacity. This was improved by using a torque wrench (set to 50 N.m) to tighten the blade base clamp screws, retightening the blade tip screws (which had worked loose) and tightening the collar on the end of the shaft of the magic wand. Eventually we decided on a compression of 30 mm, which should give a frequency of around 0.5 Hz if we remove one Cu damper segment from the SF. Hirata-san applied the 30 mm compression but we skipped another round of testing with the dummy load and will go straight to hanging the SF/... section on the assembly frame. * We wrapped PI #1 (for SR2) and craned it from behind SR3 to behind SRM. We can now wrap PI #3 (for SR3) and crane it straight to the assembly frame. ==== Plan for week of 6/25 ==== * Mark, Enzo, Hirata-san, Terrence at Kamioka Mon-Fri. * Kozu-kun at Kamioka except Thu. * -- * Shutdown Type B controls (as far as possible) in preparation for risk of accidental power outage during electrical work on 6/26. * Prepare SF damper magnet ring and rods. * Install PI #3 in SR3 AF. * Suspend SF/... section. * Lots of cable routing and testing. * Move PI #1 (for SR2) over SRM tank to work area, install blades and tune. ==== Plan for week of 7/2 ==== * Mark, Hirata-san, Terrence at Kamioka Mon-Fri. * Enzo at Kamioka Mon-Wed. * Kozu-kun at Kamioka except Wed. * -- * Lock suspension. * Remove tank lid and raise LBB damper rings. * Crane suspension into tank. |
==== Report for week of 1/14 ==== * Etc * Hirata-san ordered three 41 mm spanners for adjusting the jacks under the top of the tanks. * Mirapro installed bellows on the -Y side of BS and the +Y side of SR2. * Simon got us an LED, a 2D QPD stage and a second 300x400 mm breadboard, which should be enough to do the SRM TILT OL. He's working on a few more items needed for the LEN OL. * Terada-san and Uchiyama-san placed height markers on the SR tank frames showing the BS height and the desired SR heights allowing for 1/300 gradient: SR2 BS+17 mm, SR3 BS+56 mm, and SRM BS+70 mm. * Terrence and Mark reworked the Type B Guardian code to simplify future maintenance, so that the scripts `VIS_BS.py` etc are now tiny stub files which call common code in `TYPEB.py`. * Mark, Terrence and Enzo updated all the Type B models and MEDM screens to add support for binary output to the stepper driver enable inputs, and Enzo ran cables from the front ends to the BIO adapters, and thence to the drivers. We tested the SRM setup but it doesn't yet work. * BS * We installed the three new geophones originally prepared for SRM and then realized we'd made a serious mistake: the old wiring used adapters at both ends of the cable to compensate for the flipped preamps in the original geophones, and we forgot to take out the ones at the rack end. So two of the new ones appear to have been damaged and will have to be repaired. VIS has enough preamps to fix all the broken Type B geophones, but Type A will also need some more soon and there aren't enough in total, so we will have to repair them. * Hirata-san tried various things including turning the F0 FR carriage upside down to try to fix the jamming problem but it didn't seem to help. After advice from Takahashi-san and further debugging we discovered that we had a half-dead channel on the BS_GAS stepper driver, so we switched to a working channel, and that fixed things. * We recalibrated the F0 LVDT, this time measuring the height from the top down as we had been doing for the SRs. We also measured the range of the F0 FR in steps and millimeters and its effect on the keystone. * We tuned the IP for frequency and centered it in L, T and Y. We got 78 mHz. * SRM * Hirata-san checked the F0 yaw stepper and it worked. * (CHECK!!) Hirata-san checked the channels on the SRM stepper drivers and found they all worked. However the F0 FR still didn't move, so he tried turning the carriage upside down, and that fixed it. So between the BS and SRM there were two independent causes of the same problem. * Fabian surveyed the height of the SRM relative to Terada-san's reference with the GAS filters at nominal height and found it was 3.5 mm low. This is well within the range of the jacks, so we will raise the entire suspension to fix it. * Fabian inspected the optic. It seems OK for dust, but there is still some residue left from removing the FC. We may try some more dabbing with acetone. * SR2 * Terrence and Enzo tested the third and last type of collimator (3500 mm) in the OL, but it had much too small a spot and dynamic range. We will standardize on 1.1 mm collimators for all OLs. * Fabian inspected the optic and found patterns that may be FC residue on both sides. * SR3 * Fabian and Ohishi-san tried using the Top Gun to remove dust found earlier by Hirose-san. The AR side came clean but the HR did not improve. Fabian wiped the security structure and LBB with Vectra10 wipes and ethanol. |
