| * Type B Past Week Summary * Mark (with Enzo) did initial TFs on the BF. * Did fixed-sine TFs on individual OSEMs at low frequency to check actuator polarity (klog [[http://klog.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/osl/?r=2176 | 2176]] and [[http://klog.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/osl/?r=2182|2182]]). * Set gains in the COILOUTF block to compensate for actuator polarity. * Mark (with Enzo) did a free-swing measurement on the BS after earthquake of 11/22 (klog [[http://klog.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/osl/?r=2182|2182]]). * Results suspicious (noted by Shoda-san): too much difference between OSEMs - horizontal showing much less motion than vertical. * Possible rubbing in horizontal. * May need a trip to Kamioka. * Mark (with Enzo) made corrections and improvements to many of the MEDM screens (klog [[http://klog.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/osl/?r=2176 | 2176]] and [[http://klog.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/osl/?r=2182|2182]]). * Main overview screen was not generic in many places, and links to GDS_TP screens were broken. * ADC monitor screen referenced bad channels with LIGO-style names. * DAC monitor screen was not generic and did not support IM OSEMs. * Watchdog IM OSEM AC band limit filter screen was a copy of the TM one. * Watchdog TM OSEM AC band limit filter screen appears to be getting OL signals as input - needs model changes to fix. * The zoomed screens for IM OSEM centering were called incorrectly and did not work. * Various screens had LIGO-style channel names as labels. * Mark did a draft of D1603600-v12, including: * New assignment of IM OSEMs to DAQ channels (#4-9 are now V1, V2, V3, H1, H2, H3 rather than H1, H2, ...) from last Friday (the wiring was changed to reflect the model so as to remain consistent with PRx). * Information on how to identify the wires from the steppers and LVDTs so that the adapter cables can be plugged in properly. * Mark worked on schedule. * Hirata-san did drawings for new 8-mm maraging wires for Type A. * Hirata-san worked on PR/SR mirror box modifications with Shoda-san. |
=== 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]].

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.
