Subject: APTW Front End Power Busbars Stabuli Connector Exchange 

We successfully performed a removal and replacement of a power busbar stabuli connector on the front end plate where the HTV connects to:

  • The middle-lower connector was tested as the others are more straightforward to work with.
  • It may be a good idea to use a 3D printed jig to wedge into the connectors without damaging the flexures/pins.
  • A longer hex bit on the hot cell torque tool would greatly help this operation.
  • Even without special tooling the bottom connector returned and mated back onto the locating features relatively easily with just the manipulators.
  • Longer hex bits purchased, 3D printed too left for future.
  • Screws and washers are effectively captive in the connectors which helps
