| * Mark, Fabian and Enzo continued BS Test Hang work: * 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. * 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. This can probably be made up easily by designing the 18 kg of extra mass appropriately. * 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 removed the end panels of the IRM to get access to the IM and rearranged the trim mass on the the IM to get it balance to bubble-level precision. (We still need to do fine pitch adjustment with the OL so that the BS is at the right angle, secure the trim mass properly and replace the IRM panels and OSEMs.) * Miyakawa-san and Yamamoto-san redid the cabling from the computer room to the PR2 rack and expected to finish by lunchtime on Friday. * 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) === ==== Report for week of 3/13 ==== At Kamioka (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Perry, Hirata-san): * We took a full set of TFs with the BF stationary but the IRM, IM, RM and TM all hanging. * We marked peeling or damaged areas on the clean booth floor for Furuta-san. * We installed the SF, measuring its weight in the process. * We found the crossbars supporting the SF jacks were too high to allow the SF ring to sit on the pillars while also being partially supported by the jacks. (This was an issue with the 3D CAD - the model of the NB-01 jack had a lower minimum height than reality.) We lowered the crossbars by 5 mm and put thicker spacers (12 mm instead of 3 mm) on top of the jacks supporting the SF and everything worked well. * We installed newly cleaned L-brackets under the BF and SF. * We installed a new-style cable clamp under the SF. (This was easier with the SF on the security structure, so we had not done it earlier.) * We installed the SF-BF rod and hex cable clamp. * We suspended the BF/IRM/IM/RM/BS section and found it was light, presumably because it had been trimmed according to the Promec measurement of the SF, not Hirata-san's later value. * We added extra ballast mass corresponding to the difference and found the BF section floated at a good height. * We moved trim mass around on the BF until it hung level, and adjusted the IRM and OSEMs until the IRM-IM EQ stops were well-centered and all the OSEMs were centered laterally and mid-range. * We ran 11 extra 20-m in-air cables from the tank towards the rack. (We will need to add 10-m extensions.) * We connected most of the cables to the vacuum flanges with screws and anti-feedthrough adapters. (Some remain to be done.) * We debugged a 900 Hz ringing in the BF LVDT, which turned out to be because the damping was enabled without appropriate filters or gains. * We debugged excess noise in the TM-H3 OSEM, which turned out to be mostly due to a faulty cable. However we worry that some of it may be due to some extensions made of non-vacuum-compatible ribbon cable which we added because the TM-H2 and -H3 OSEM cables are too short. * We installed new security structure parts at the RM level. * We found all the parts for the lower breadboard suspension, including the blades, blade bases, associated cable clamps etc. We also found the jigs for installing the blades. * Fabian finalized the BF ballast mass design and started on the SF. ==== Report for week of 3/21 ==== At Kamioka (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Perry, Hirata-san): * We took a full set of TFs with the SF stationary but the BF, IRM, IM, RM and TM all hanging. * We also did a TF from BF LVDT actuation and confirmed that it was working. * We got SUMCON running on Perry's computer and worked out how to do cut-down versions of Fabian's full Type-B model corresponding to the various partial configurations we have data for. ==== Plan for coming weeks ==== For more detail, see [KAGRA/Subgroups/VIS/TypeB/ToDo].

Type B (Mark)
Report for week of 3/13
At Kamioka (Mark, Fabian, Enzo, Perry, Hirata-san):
- We took a full set of TFs with the BF stationary but the IRM, IM, RM and TM all hanging.
- We marked peeling or damaged areas on the clean booth floor for Furuta-san.
- We installed the SF, measuring its weight in the process.
- We found the crossbars supporting the SF jacks were too high to allow the SF ring to sit on the pillars while also being partially supported by the jacks. (This was an issue with the 3D CAD - the model of the NB-01 jack had a lower minimum height than reality.) We lowered the crossbars by 5 mm and put thicker spacers (12 mm instead of 3 mm) on top of the jacks supporting the SF and everything worked well.
- We installed newly cleaned L-brackets under the BF and SF.
- We installed a new-style cable clamp under the SF. (This was easier with the SF on the security structure, so we had not done it earlier.)
- We installed the SF-BF rod and hex cable clamp.
- We suspended the BF/IRM/IM/RM/BS section and found it was light, presumably because it had been trimmed according to the Promec measurement of the SF, not Hirata-san's later value.
- We added extra ballast mass corresponding to the difference and found the BF section floated at a good height.
- We moved trim mass around on the BF until it hung level, and adjusted the IRM and OSEMs until the IRM-IM EQ stops were well-centered and all the OSEMs were centered laterally and mid-range.
- We ran 11 extra 20-m in-air cables from the tank towards the rack. (We will need to add 10-m extensions.)
- We connected most of the cables to the vacuum flanges with screws and anti-feedthrough adapters. (Some remain to be done.)
- We debugged a 900 Hz ringing in the BF LVDT, which turned out to be because the damping was enabled without appropriate filters or gains.
- We debugged excess noise in the TM-H3 OSEM, which turned out to be mostly due to a faulty cable. However we worry that some of it may be due to some extensions made of non-vacuum-compatible ribbon cable which we added because the TM-H2 and -H3 OSEM cables are too short.
- We installed new security structure parts at the RM level.
- We found all the parts for the lower breadboard suspension, including the blades, blade bases, associated cable clamps etc. We also found the jigs for installing the blades.
- Fabian finalized the BF ballast mass design and started on the SF.

- We took a full set of TFs with the SF stationary but the BF, IRM, IM, RM and TM all hanging.
