| * Mark, Fabian and Enzo continued BS Test Hang work: * We installed the BF fishing rod stepper motor adaptor cable. * We tried to install the BF LVDT cable but first we encountered trouble routing it, and then several wires broke at the D-Sub end. * We laid 6 in-air cables from the tank to the PR2 rank for BF and SF picos, steppers and LVDTs. * We lifted the BF/IRM/IM/RM/BS section to weigh it and check its balance. * It was 195.6 kg, which is 18 kg(!) less than the capacity of the SF. * There was a major imbalance in roll: with all four built-in trim masses moved up the +Y end, it still needed 270 g of extra trim mass to be level. * Unfortunately when we put the payload, the IM was slightly yawed and ended up on the horizontal EQ stop screws. This let the IM-BF maraging rod go slack, which disturbed the leveling of the IM (because every time it is picked up the maraging rod settles in a different place, giving a different suspension point). We may have to partly disassemble the IRM and rearrange the time mass on the the IM. * We shipped BS mirror box parts to Shoda-san and components for a new LVDT cable to Hirata-san. * We posed for pictures of the BS by a team from National Geographic. * Hirata-san * Did parts and fastener lists for the SR payload. * Did a 3D model with the SR suspension on the BS assembly frame (to help Mark make adjustments to the frame design). * Did 2D drawings of Fabian's concept for BS EQ stop parts. * Did a 3D model of a wire clamp with replaceable jaw parts (to avoid having to reuse parts with scars from pressure). * Did 2D drawings of a new wire clamps for on top of the BS and SR RMs. |
* Hirata-san: * Received many parts from i-ject for BFRM (took pictures and took them into ATC cleanroom). * got quotes for PRM/SRM payload from i-ject. * Checked quotes and asked for some modifications.) * Washed parts (parts for type-A, small hexagons, screws, etc\) * Wiped 9 piano wires and sent to Kamioka for PR. * pdated Fabian's EQstop parts for BS recoilmass and updated EQstop assy drawings. * Fabian * Worked out geometry for blade adjustment. * Designed additional ballast masses for BS BF (and SR). * Mark and Enzo (at Kamioka) * Did two rounds of adjustment of the blades with help from Takahashi-san (one for position, one for frequency) * Surveyed the position of the rod using the vertical mode of the bubble level. * Got apparent improvement as judged at the IRM-IM EQ stops (but still not perfect). * Did one more round of blade adjustments (without Takahashi-san) * Got good agreement with IRM-IM EQ stops, so put BF cap on and raised the whole system to check for balance. * Found balance still fairly bad: about the same on the -X,+Y diagonal and about half on the +X,+Y diagonal (70 and 30 mm worth of motion of a single trim mass respectively; previous a bit over 70 mm each). * From the imbalance torques, calculated the offset of rod as 2.3 mm in the direction 22 degrees to the +X side of -Y. * Calculated the blade adjustments required: {-0.325194, -1.79175, 2.11695} mm * Prepared to apply adjustments (removed cap etc). |

- Fabian
- Worked out geometry for blade adjustment.
- Designed additional ballast masses for BS BF (and SR).
- Mark and Enzo (at Kamioka)
- Did two rounds of adjustment of the blades with help from Takahashi-san (one for position, one for frequency)
- Surveyed the position of the rod using the vertical mode of the bubble level.
- Got apparent improvement as judged at the IRM-IM EQ stops (but still not perfect).
- Did one more round of blade adjustments (without Takahashi-san)
- Got good agreement with IRM-IM EQ stops, so put BF cap on and raised the whole system to check for balance.
- Found balance still fairly bad: about the same on the -X,+Y diagonal and about half on the +X,+Y diagonal (70 and 30 mm worth of motion of a single trim mass respectively; previous a bit over 70 mm each).
- From the imbalance torques, calculated the offset of rod as 2.3 mm in the direction 22 degrees to the +X side of -Y.
- Calculated the blade adjustments required: {-0.325194, -1.79175, 2.11695} mm
