| * 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. |
=== Type B (Mark) === ==== Past week report ==== At Kamioka (Mark, Enzo, Hirata-san, Yoshioka-kun): * We disassembled the suspension. * We removed all the cables and bagged and labelled them for reuse. * The PI is parked on the pallet. * The SF was initially parked between the frame and tank and then manhandled to one side. The same procedure was used for the SF ring. * The BF was parked between the assembly frame and tank. The BF ring was stored in the top of the structure. * We removed various useful and no-longer-needed items from the BF, including the lower rod receptacle, thrust bearing, fishing rod and temporary ballast masses. * We cut the wires and removed the RM and dummy BS on the RM trolley. * The wire clamps were moderately deeply scarred and could probably be reused, but we plan to use the new set, which will be available on Tuesday of next week. * We discovered that the problem with the old BF was due to the fishing rod, which had not had a pair of lock nuts and had been damaged by being drive too high, so that the springs hit the underside of the cap and were bent at the base. We will install lock nuts and set them to the correct height for the final installation. * The gluing of the BS primary prisms and magnets went well, but we had to reglue the secondary prisms because they stuck to the jigs and were pulled off when the jigs were retracted. The second try went well and the BS is ready for use. * Fabian and Hirata-san characterized 7 new BS BF blades. There was one outlier but the rest were in a tight group. * Hirata-san used 3 of the blades to build a new BF. * Miyo-kun and others from the Type Bp team did a lot of tidying up of the BS rack for us, and removed a lot of in-air cables running through the cleanbooth. When he returns, on 8/8, Enzo will coordinate relaying the cables in the cable trays (which were not installed when the initial cabling was done). ==== Plan for week of 7/24 ==== Full team at Kamioka from Mon-Fri, except Hirata-san (Tue-Fri) and Enzo (vacation). * Check results of gluing. * Finish disassembly. * Finish BF rebuild. * Remove LBB rings. * Recheck alignment of assembly frame and centering of optical table. * Install IM, suspend BS and RM. ==== Plan for week of 7/31 ==== Full team at Kamioka from Mon-Fri, except Fabian (Mon-Thu) and Enzo (vacation). * Weigh/trim BS/RM/IM. * Bring in rebuilt BF.

Type B (Mark)
Past week report
At Kamioka (Mark, Enzo, Hirata-san, Yoshioka-kun):
- We disassembled the suspension.
- We removed all the cables and bagged and labelled them for reuse.
- The PI is parked on the pallet.
- The SF was initially parked between the frame and tank and then manhandled to one side. The same procedure was used for the SF ring.
- The BF was parked between the assembly frame and tank. The BF ring was stored in the top of the structure.
- We removed various useful and no-longer-needed items from the BF, including the lower rod receptacle, thrust bearing, fishing rod and temporary ballast masses.
- We cut the wires and removed the RM and dummy BS on the RM trolley.
- The wire clamps were moderately deeply scarred and could probably be reused, but we plan to use the new set, which will be available on Tuesday of next week.
- We discovered that the problem with the old BF was due to the fishing rod, which had not had a pair of lock nuts and had been damaged by being drive too high, so that the springs hit the underside of the cap and were bent at the base. We will install lock nuts and set them to the correct height for the final installation.
- The gluing of the BS primary prisms and magnets went well, but we had to reglue the secondary prisms because they stuck to the jigs and were pulled off when the jigs were retracted. The second try went well and the BS is ready for use.
- Fabian and Hirata-san characterized 7 new BS BF blades. There was one outlier but the rest were in a tight group.
- Hirata-san used 3 of the blades to build a new BF.
- Miyo-kun and others from the Type Bp team did a lot of tidying up of the BS rack for us, and removed a lot of in-air cables running through the cleanbooth. When he returns, on 8/8, Enzo will coordinate relaying the cables in the cable trays (which were not installed when the initial cabling was done).
Plan for week of 7/24

- Recheck alignment of assembly frame and centering of optical table.
- Install IM, suspend BS and RM.
Plan for week of 7/31
Full team at Kamioka from Mon-Fri, except Fabian (Mon-Thu) and Enzo (vacation).
- Weigh/trim BS/RM/IM.
- Bring in rebuilt BF.
Vacation Info: Hirata-san: Thu 7/20 through Mon 7/24 Enzo: Sat 7/22 through Sun 8/6 Fabian: Fri 8/4 through Mon 8/21 Mark: TBD Mid-Oct
