| ==== Report for week of 7/30 ==== * We set up an OL outside the tank and checked the SR3 pitch - it was OK. * We ran power to the SR3 pico and stepper drivers and tested them. * We tried to offload a 700 µm discrepancy between the BF GAS zero position and the IM-V zero position but ended up scrambling the IRM-IM alignment, probably through sending a command to the wrong pico driver. We mostly fixed the BF/IRM pitch/roll, but we have some more work to do to fix the IM/RM/TM pitch/roll. * We debugged a problem with the SR2 alignment - the chain was offset by about 5 mm to +T, leading to fouling at the IM and RM levels. Some 2 mm of the offset was due to the F0 keystone being off center, apparently due to some combination of different-strength blades and the CuBe auxiliary spring, but the rest is a mystery. * We fixed a problem with the levelness of the PI due to the feet of the IP being set at uneven heights into the PI weldment, and it got the IP very closed to centered but it didn't fix the fouling problem. * We eventually fixed the fouling by setting the security structure at a slight angle so it remains slightly off at the SF level but is good at the bottom. * We installed the SR2 SF damper Cu segments and magnet ring. * Enzo and team debugged a malfunctioning bit in the SR3 IP BIO which turned out to be a defective 37-pin gender changer. ==== Plan for week of 8/6 ==== * 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. * Do TFs with temporary OL. * Install final OL. * Hook LBB, add ballast mass. ===== SR2 ===== * Add estimated final ballast mass. * Do PI cable routing. * Adjust ballast/trim mass, with reserve for cables. ===== SRM ===== * Assemble metal mass. * Glue prisms, flags. * Reconfigure, align assembly frame. * Tune F0 for SRM. * Add LBB blade units, cable clamps etc. * Check PI coil connections, IP LVDT magnets. |
==== Report for week of 12/17 ==== * BS * We opened the top of the BS tank after the vent. * We inspected the BS F0 blades for cracks but still didn't find any. * We removed the arc weights and geophones, and added new longer studs for the arc weights and new cables for the geophones. We then put back the original arc weights and new geophones. * We measured the geometry of the various IP items to check the IP diagonalization matrices. * We installed the new double-sided F0 FR. We were not close to needing to add the optional !CuBe spring. Unfortunately the FR had rather less friction but still didn't work. After checking a bunch of possibilities and comparing against SRM (also non-working) and SR2/SR3 (working), we suspect the carriage may be assembled upside down, with the metal plate below and the PEEK plate above. We will try changing it next week. * We adjusted the F0 keystone trim mass and were able to get it to sit at CAD nominal height at nominal temperature (24.9°C) with mid-range FR and modest extra mass (413 g). Interestingly, we noticed that removing the arc weights and/or geophones reduced the load capacity by a few hundred grams. * We measured the total range of the IP FRs in steps and set them to mid-range in preparation for tuning the IP frequency and (re-)centering the IP. * SRM * We borrowed an LED from SR2 and set the pitch of the SRM optic. * We found the SRM front end had crashed and could not be properly reset by cycling the power from the web interface. Yamamoto-san eventually got it working for us, although it didn't seem to take more than restarting the user and IOP models. * We sealed and retested the new geophones originally intended for SRM, but decided to use them on BS instead. * We installed the two OL viewports. We also tried to install the camera viewport but we couldn't get the Cu gasket to sit in the recess, so we gave up and will probably reallocate the camera viewport to SR3 for now (where it will go on a different type of flange which we've had success with.
