| ==== Report for week of 7/23 ==== * We finished adding cable clamps to the SR2 PI and SF. * We craned in the SR2 PI and installed the PI-SF rod. As expected, there was not quite enough load capacity for even a 2 Cu-segment SF. * We changed the CuBe spring on the SR2 PI from an F2 type to an F1 and got about an extra 2 kg, which is plenty for 2 Cu segments. * We moved the feedthroughs from the SR3 assembly frame to the SR3 tank. Mirapro then moved the assembly frame to the SRM area. Mirapro also moved the duct on the +Y side of the SR3 tank to give us access to that side. * We laid a new set of SR3 in-air cables running directly to the tank. (We will repurpose the original set for SRM.) * We reconnected the SR3 cables on both sides of the feedthroughs. We had to adjust the routing of the in-vacuum ones several times to stop them touching the tank, but we finally found a good solution. * With help from Ohishi-san we removed the First Contact and then unlocked the whole suspension by stages. We need to check the optic pitch and do a little more mechanical adjustment but we were able to take TFs and implement IM and GAS control filters. * Hirata-san and Fujii-kun received most of the SRM metal mass parts, did inventory and practiced some of the key steps in the assembly, especially inserting the Sol-Black coated parts without touching the delicate surfaces. * Mark did inventory of the BIO stuff for the WD and of the OL parts. ==== Plan for week of 7/30 ==== * Mark, Enzo, Hirata-san, Fabian, Kozu-kun, Terrence, Panwei at Kamioka Mon-Fri. * Kozu-kun works at Mozumi Mon, Fri, and Thu afternoon. ===== SR3 ===== * Finalize optic pitch, OSEM alignment. * Hook LBB, add ballast mass, set up temporary OL (horizontal beam, pitch/yaw only). * Identify/acquire items required for final OL (steering mirrors, second QPD, lens, collimator). ===== SR2 ===== * Fix issue with PI/SS/chain alignment. * Put magnets on SR damper ring (2 Cu segment pattern). * Remove PI-SF rod temporarily, install Cu segments and damper ring. * Do vertical height budget; choose optimum F0 keystone height. * Add estimated final ballast mass. * Do PI cable routing. * Adjust ballast/trim mass, with reserve for cables. ===== SRM ===== * Set up filter tuning area. * Tune F0 for SRM. * Add LBB blade units, cable clamps etc. * Check PI coil connections, IP LVDT magnets. |
==== Report for week of 11/19 ==== * BS * Fabian did some debugging on the BS and found that the calibration for the F0 LVDT was off due to an Excel error, and that the sag wasn't quite the 7 mm originally observed, but still enough to cause the suspension to touch down. Enzo tried applying LVDT actuation at the GAS filters and got it to lift off far enough to get sensible TFs, but the required BF offset was enough to put the IM OSEMs at the very edge of their usable range, so this is not a good long-term solution. We can probably raise the F0 keystone during the vent by removing mass and/or installing an auxiliary spring, which will then allow us to return the BF keystone to nominal height. * While working on the BS, Enzo noticed that one of the stepper drivers was not responding. It turned out to be water damaged from the rain issues earlier in the year. Enzo and Fujii-kun opened the rest of the BS chassises on the second floor but they seem to be OK. Tanaka-san had made a third driver chassis as a spare, so we reserved that and will install it in the week of 12/10. * SRM * The SRM-W optic arrived and we installed it in place of the SRM-M in the metal mass, taking care to use 1.4 mm shims as recommended by Hirose-san. The weight of the new assembly was within 1 g of the old and did not disturb the height of the payload. There was a very small change in pitch which we corrected with the IM picos. * We installed the shelf for the OL receiver. * We added the arc weights and geophones and went through several rounds of improving the centering of the IP and then realigning the security structure back to vertical. * We calibrated the F0 LVDT, and checked the F0 and IP actuation signs. * We adjusted the SF trim masses to set the SF pitch and roll, did an inventory of the trim mass and set the damper gap. * We did a final alignment of the whole chain and left the suspension ready for TFs during the f2f week. There is only a few hours of work left before we can install and we hope to do that on Monday 12/10. * SR2 * Enzo replaced the geophones and cables that had been borrowed for calibration and did several rounds of optimization of the IP frequency. He got as low as 46 mHz but with poor Q and so backed off a bit to 55 mHz and may back off a tiny bit more. * I derived updated IP matrices for the BS and SR, with more precise geometry data provided by Hirata-san, and published them as T1707205 and T1807663. * I created a CENTERING screen for the IP, with large panel meters for the LVDT signals and the derived L, T and Y signals. * Enzo confirmed that the fancy stepper control screen created by Shoda-san worked. * We installed a modified LPCD as IM-V for testing. * SR3 * We moved HPCDs from BS and SR2 to replace the ones that had been stolen from SR3, so as to create a working suspension with an OL for Kozu-kun. |

- While working on the BS, Enzo noticed that one of the stepper drivers was not responding. It turned out to be water damaged from the rain issues earlier in the year.
