Type-A (Takahashi)

Past week report

[X-front]

• The delivery of the maraging rod was deley. We didn't go to hunging by the short rod.
• Attached magnets to the primary coils and made interconnect cables.
• Installed the protection net into the cross tube.
• Opened the top chamber.
• Installed the frame lock.
• Attached the corn bellows onto the bottom of top chamber.
• Assembling the side stoppers for SFs.
• The optimal load of BF (190kg) is not acceptable for the cryo-payload. Designing an additional FR.

[X-end]

• Attached the additional vacuum gauge to the top chamber. The pressure was 0.16Pa.
• Checked the connection for LVDT on the F0-BF.

[Y-end]

• The position of IP was corrected so that the torsion mode frequency can be the lowest.
• Started the cool down of EYC cryostat on 7th.

[Broken blades]

• Franco reported about the sample of broken blades. The sample has two different zones.
• Checked dimensions of some blades. The width was the same, but the thickness was different.
• Dismounted the blade for SRM from the arc jig.
• Nikhef can investigate the broken blade too.
• No information from the maker.
• Asking the companies about the optimal thickness as material for new blades.

Plan for coming weeks

• Hung the DP by the short rod.
• Attached the additional FR and tune the BF again.

Type B (Mark)

Report for week of 2/5

• Mark made two sets of in-air pico splitter cables (each with a triple for IM and a double for BF) for SR2 and SR3.
• Fabian, Hirata-san and Kozu-kun worked on cabling and testing the IM pitch/roll/yaw picos, the BF FR and the BF LVDT. The LVDT connections were initially unreliable and Hirata-san had to redo the pins on the coil wires.
• Fabian installed ballast masses in the BF.
• Mark worked on schedule.
• Mark did inventory of the stepper motor drivers (many were not accounted for on the wiki and/or JGWDoc and one is missing) and reserved two for SR3.
• We emptied out the external cleanroom in preparation for installing SS sheet.

Plan for week of 2/13

• No work Monday (建国記念の日の振替休日)
• Enzo on vacation
• Hirata-san at Mitaka Tue (self-evaluation interview).
• Shoda-san at Mitaka.
• All others at Kamioka.
• -
• Build IRM around IM.
• Cable/test/adjust IM OSEMs.
• Do TFs from IM OSEMs to IM OSEMs, OL pitch/yaw.
• Send OSEM parts back to Mitaka so that Shoda-san can assemble them in Mitaka.

Plan for week of 2/19

• Enzo back from Tuesday.
• Shoda-san at Mitaka.
• Hirata-san at Mitaka Mon+Tue (to receive and wash parts).
• All others at Kamioka.
• -
• Lift BF/... section and check total mass and balance.
• Cable and test BF picos.
• Add section of SS up to SF ring.
• Bring in SF.
• Hook BF/... section.
• Route cables up to under SF.
• Check/adjust total mass of BF/... section.

Plan for week of 2/26

• Shoda-san at Mitaka.
• -
