1. Clean Room SUS Work
1.1. Overall Requirements
List items you need before completing this whole section
Clean 3"->2" optics adapter parts (Side blocks, balance weights, mirror clamps)
- Adapter rings, wire clamp, wire block and retainer rings are all clean on the flow bench
- Waiting for machined balance masses from RDL ETA ~1 week
- All hardware except 8-32 Helicoils are cleaned and ready for assembly, eta on Helicoils ~1 week
HeNe Laser
- Suspension Wire (wrapped and stored in the clean room)
- Dummy 2" mirror
- The mirrors that actually go into the vacuum.
1.2. Specific tasks and details
1.2.1. Gluing / SUS building [Oct 4 to Oct 11] (YD, JV, TE)
Requirements:
- Dumbell+magnet assemblies need to be glued onto the optics adapter. 4 on the ring and 1 on a side block for each SOS.
- One last round of dumbell+magnet gluing.
- Testing of bond strength of last dumbell+magnet batches.
for the side magnets, we need longer assembly to avoid interference with the clamping screws. -> an additional magnet will be glued on a magnet-dumbbel pair.
Estimated time: 3 Days
- Assembly drawing ~75% complete, will be ready 10/11/21
1.2.2. Suspending [Oct 4 to Oct 11] (YD, TE)
Requirements:
- Need to push a few already clean Viton tips into 1/4" screws to be used as EQ stops. Assemble those EQ stops onto the SOSs.
- Suspend dummy mirror for balance testing.
Balance the dummy mirror using the HeNe laser. Adding and moving weights for adjustments.
- Suspend and balance actual mirrors that go into the vacuum using what we learned by experimenting with the dummy mirror.
- Suspension order of optics and origin of the optics:
PR3 | E1800089 | Arrived in Feb 2019. In Clean Optic Cabinet in Xend.
SR2 | E1800089 | Arrived in Feb 2019. In Clean Optic Cabinet in Xend.
