Vent planning for Fall 2021

Clean Room SUS Work

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.

Specific tasks and details

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

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.

Estimated time: 2 weeks
