Other Mechanical Issues

• #OSEM assembly status (Akutsu)
• #Missing items(to be purchased soon)

  • #Traverser motor driver (Shoda) -> Will discuss Uraguchi-san. Need a box for stepping motor driver. -> These are for PR2. Will be ordered sometime. -> Miyakawa-san is thinking about ordering chassis and boxes for motors. We discussed and agreed that the design of the boxes will be unified. The boxes will be designed and ordered together with those. (16/03/10)

Electronics

• What are necessary in the next few weeks ?
  • Nothing
• Watch dog system (Tanaka)
  • PCB delivered
  • Operation check of the prototype board is done
  • Will stuff the PCB for the mass production board next

• #Need to make Guradian script for PR3. Shoda + Fujii and Okutomi will write one after the mechanical installation is finished. -> DONE(16/03/08)

• Electronics diagram and review

  • Electronics document tree for VIS by Mark (http://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=4937)

  • Updated PR3 schematic with OpLev wiring (http://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=4795)

  • Need to think about who will be resposible for the electronics of each suspension
  • Operation manual for digital system is necessary

bKAGRA preparation

• Three big categories of the tasks
  • Type-A: Leader = Takahashi
  • Type-B (BS and SRC): Leader = Mark
  • Type-Bp modification: Leader = Shoda

Common Issues

Type-B

• KAGRA/Subgroups/VIS/TypeB

• Task list/schedule

  • Kick off meeting within February (Mark)
• BS prism preparation (Mark)
  • Now have quotes for both prisms and grooves for orders of both 4 and 12:

• Shinko-sha quotation
  • 260KJPY for two. Lead time = 1.5month
• We decided to order 6 to Shinko-sha

  • Takahashi will call the compnay to have a meeting

  • Aso will check with Ohashi-san about the budget

  • We will use the saphhire prisms for the test hanging too

• Can we make SR wire breakers bigger ?
  • We will ask ATC to widen one RM first.
  • Brought back one RM to Mitaka
    • It will take more than 1 month to machine (Fukushima-san)
    • Iwashita-san is preparing some tools for the machining. May take more than one month.
• Flag design (Mark)

  • BS Flag Redesign on OneDrive

  • Could make BS optic flag shorter by about 4 mm ("BS Optic Flag Concept 3 (Small Magnet, Short)") but it would cause work for Tatsumi-san for little benefit.
  • Recommend "BS Optic Flag Concept 2 (Small Magnet)"

  • Will make a smaller foot print flag design (Mark)

  • Fabian did rigid IM flag design ("TBD")
    • Mark would like to make a test flag with magnetic attachment.
    • Use a key to determine the rotation angle of the flag
  • Widen the OSEM opening (Akutsu)
• BS dummy optics design (Fabian)

  • http://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=4811

  • The above design seems fine.
  • Hirata-san is waiting for quotes from three companies
• IP base clamp (Fabian): Ordered
• Bread board spring (Takahashi): Got a quotation, but expensive. Looking for other companies.
• Issues with lower optical bench and damper ring.
  • Last week's problem solved: support blocks on damper ring can be moved circumferentially to match support blocks on lower optical bench.
  • New problem: damper ring needs to have central hole enlarged to allow passage of suspension during installation.
    • Asking Mirapro to make a modification(Takahashi)
  • New problem: nail-head parts are too short to hook in support blocks - need to be remade longer (and rods shortened to match).
    • Will make a design change.(Takahashi)
• BS Assembly Frame Design (Mark, Hirata)
  • Design is almost complete
  • Need to add some mechanism to hook a load gauge
  • Need to add some attachment points (e.g., ferromagnetic plates) for placing wind-shield panels.
  • With check the structural strength

  • Will talk with Mirapro (contact Nakamura-san : Hirata)

  • Take photos of the BS area to see where is the optimal location of the assembly frame (Aso)

• Making assembly drawings for BS (Hirata)
• #BS gluing jigs (Tatsumi)
• #Not enough crane height problem (Hirata, Saito)
• #BS clean bag (Aso)

Type A

• Task list (Takahashi)

• Thinking about a possibility of testing the long filter chain using the prototype EQ stop in Kashiwa.

• Organize a kick-off meeting in the later half of March, concentrating on the room temperature part. (Takahashi)

• Prototype long maraging rods (heat treated) were delivered from Aoyama
• #Type-A Filters Optimal Load Measurements

  • #Takahashi will make a plan for the optimal load check and ask ATC.-> Check two filters per month from April 2016. -> Will be presented to the ATC steering committee.

  • #How to manufacture the long maraging wires ?
    • One prototype was machined by Ojima

    • Aoyama can do the heat treatment for the long rod. Will ask them soon (Takahashi) -> Still waiting for a quotation.

    • How to test it ?
      • We can use the prototype assembly frame in TAMA.

Type-Bp modification

• PR2 Wire breaker problem
  • Prism removal from PR2 (Hirose, Mark)
    • Spare mirror is now back to Kashiwa
• CLIO suspension
  • Ishizaki-san will come to pick it up

Other

• Safety
  • Using Bel wires for the safety of working on the 2F may be good

    • Ishizaki will check if there is clean compatible ones
      

• #GAS blade inspection by Virgo (Takahashi)
  • Shipped the blades. Will get results in 1-2 months.

Next meeting
