 * Type B Past Week Summary
  * Mark did a Type B schedule presentation at the Extended Chiefs Meeting. It was decided to order a second assembly frame so that the BS/SR2/SR3/SRM installations can overlap more.
  * Mark and Hirata-san helped Mirapro construct the assembly frame ([[https://goo.gl/photos/tVGoebw7FTRMAYB2A|photos]]).
  * Mark and Hirata-san took the jacks and adapter plates off the frame, and cleaned them to remove as much of the original grease as possible. Takahashi-san has offered to re-grease them with vacuum grease.
  * Mark and Hirata-san wiped down the assembly frame and put the clean bag on it.
  * Saito-san, Ohishi-san and several people from Mirapro adjusted the position of the BS chamber.
  * Mark plugged the geophones back into the PR2 rack and checked that the repaired cable was working.
  * Fabian did more pre-assembly of the RM/IM/IRM.
  * Takahashi-san ordered 10 mm diameter x 10 mm long magnets for the IM flags.
  * Mark inspected the SR2 section of the clean booth to see where SR2 assembly could be done. The slot in the ceiling for the crane runs in the ±X direction (at right angles to that for the BS), and there are suitable space on both the +X and the -X sides of the SR2 tank.
  * Hasegawa-san (of Hirose-san's lab) took delivery of the cup for removing the prisms on the dummy BS. It fits well.
  * Tatsumi-san ordered [[http://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=5357|modifications]] to the BS gluing jig to make it easier to remove the pieces holding the flags after the flags are attached. The parts are expected Fri 7/8. He also ordered more EP30, but this won't arrive until the week of 7/18.
 * Type B ongoing issues
  * Wires
   * Need to decide RM wire thickness and order BS and RM wires. Lead time is a few days from Nilaco.
  * OSEMs
   * Akutsu-san is working to get wide-mouth OSEMs
  * Longer cables for BF->PI and SF->PI.
   * Connectors RECEIVED, cables being made.
  * SR machining test ongoing.
  * Lower breadboard stuff
   * Installation to be incorporated into the procedure document. Mark/Takahashi to discuss.
   * Breadboard springs (in manufacture, expected end of July)
   * Nail-head parts - RECEIVED.
  * Documents
   * BS Assembly Procedure [[http://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=4235| E1504235]], [[https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=D5CCFA70A378E0D0!195&authkey=!AM_usynuo9QI57g&ithint=folder,webloc|E1504235 draft]]
  * To-do list for Fabian/Hirata-san during Mark's vacation
   * Finish assembly of BS IM, RM and IRM (Fabian).
   * Weigh IM/RM/IRM (Fabian, Hirata)
   * Pack/ship IM/RM/IRM to Kamioka (Hirata/Fabian).
   * Analyze geophone data (Mark, Shoda)
   * Remove glue from dummy BS face (Fabian).
   * Remove prism from dummy BS (Hirose, Fabian?)
   * Reglue flags and prisms (Tatsumi, Fabian)
   * Buy wire for BS and RM (Hirata)
   * Clean wire for BS and RM (Hirata)
   * Do fit/function test of winches (Fabian/Hirata)
   * Ship winches to Kamioka (Hirata/Fabian)
   * Work on BS simulation (Fabian)
   * Do Inventor assembly for SR2 in chamber and on assembly frame (Hirata)
   * Apply vacuum grease to jacks for BS assembly frame (Takahashi)
   * Write more of payload assembly procedure (Fabian)
   * Write more of main assembly procedure (Mark)
  * Longer term to-do list
   * Do BS Simulink model (Mark, Kokeyama)
   * Do 2D drawings of SR2 parts (Hirata)
   * Redesign SRx IM wire clamps for larger prisms, remachined RMs.
   * Order SRM/PRM parts (Hirata/Shoda)
   * Order SRx fasteners (Hirata)
   * Check SR RM machining test progress (Hirata)
=== Type B (Mark) ===
==== Past week report ====
At Kamioka (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Hirata-san):

 * 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.

==== Plan for coming weeks ====
For more detail, see [[KAGRA/Subgroups/VIS/TypeB/ToDo]].

Weeks of 5/22, 5/29:
 * Retest SF stepper every day, to see if problems recur.
 * Find/install geophone adapter plates or improvise replacement.
 * Reinstall PI, this time with rods and damper ring.
 * Reinstall PI-SF rod, this time with hex cable clamp.
 * Cable/test PI geophones LVDTs and steppers.
 * Reinstall LBB blade units.
