On Tuesday, February 14th I finished modifying Jason's boxes for the remote crane tests by adding shelves to mount cameras... Apart from given the edges
a quick sanding (so no one gets slivers)...which I will try and do tomorrow. |

|
On August 1, 2023 HC1 was pumped down to -1200 Pa (gauge) and then valved off to test the leak rate after turntables had been sealed with backer rod
in the gaps.
The sealing with backer rod allowed the cell to reach the test pressure of 1000 Pa. The cell pressure equalized within 30-40 seconds which is an |

|
Repairs were done on the North door that would not close. Due to the weight on the hinge pintle and gudgeon repairs were only possible with a Hydraulic
power pack and ram to lift the door into position. Door is held closed with single Stainless bolt as top bolt hole would no longer line up. If the door
is needed to swing open, recommendation is to use Hydraulic power pack to take some of the weight to facilitate ease. See attached bolt hole photo for |

Wednesday, March 05, 2025, 13:00
Implemented and tested travel zone restrictions for the 1000kg crane to prevent collision with the manipulator arms. West operator station is currently
occupied so testing was done and confirmed functional for the East operator station. |

|
On March 29, 2017, a 9 tonne steel shield block was transferred from the ARIEL Target Pit and placed into a
wood container on the Target Hall B1 level with the overhead crane main hoist in Local Mode without incident.
Afterwards, the overhead crane was switched into Test Mode (which is the same as Remote Mode but without the

|
On March 29, 2017, a 9 tonne load was transferred in the ARIEL Target Hall with the overhead crane (TRIUMF crane #44). On April 3, 2017, several drops of
green oil were observed on the floor and hookblock directly beneath the single equalizing sheave. The Remote Handling department millwrights were notified
and an inspection of the crane using a man-lift was performed to verify the source of the oil leak. Upon inspection, it was confirmed that the green oil |

|
On April 18, 2017, an investigation was initiated to determine the cause of the ARIEL Target Hall overhead crane faults that occurred while attempting to
perform remote lifting operations in Test Mode on a 8.6 tonne SEG block (see E-Log #30). Hugo Lapointe (Automation Technician, REEL-COH) requested pictures
of the HIM (Human Interface Module) displays, located inside the electrical panels in the crane control room, immediately after a fault to assist with |

|
On May 5, 2017 the Beamlines and Remote Handling groups recorded distances in the ARIEL Target Hall from the Target Pit floor and B1 Target Hall floor elevations
up to the overhead crane girders and main hoist rotation plate using a laser measurement device (see attached file).
On May 19, 2017, the Beamlines
Group measured the B1 and Target Pit floor elevations relative to the Cyclotron centre (see attached file). |

Background: On 2019-06-25 a Pri VelFdbk Loss fault was discovered on the Main Hoist East Drum South Motor of the ARIEL Target Hall Crane. The crane was
used previously on 2018-08-22 without incident. The main hoist of the crane was unavailable until the Hugo Lapointe (Automation Technician) from the crane
manufacturer (REEL-COH) replaced the Allen-Bradley 20-750-ENC-1 Incremental Encoder board in the 800VFD with a new one, and replaced the Motrona cross |

I received a call today from Jim Adamson at Kaltech regarding modifications to shielding block TSH0225.
They had finished removing 19mm from the bottom of the block, as well as removing 10mm of material from the side plates (TSH0246). He was
wondering whether it was also necessary to remove material from the back plate (TSH0253) and weld the back plate to the 6" plate (TSH0252). I |

Testing was performed on the ceramic water breaks to be used on the beam dump water hose assemblies. The ceramic breaks are a custom MDC product
with the following description: 3kV ceramic break, 1" OD tube 0.083" wall thickness, 2" length, 304SS tube stub each end, 250psi water
rating (see TRIUMF PO# TR199315). |

Painting and relabeling of the modified lower center block (TSH0461) was completed on Monday Nov 24. The
height of the modified block was measured at the four corners using a tape measure and found to be approximately 533mm at all corners.
The block was lowered to the E-Hall and aligned on Tuesday Nov 25. No cantilever lift was required because the catwalk above the hatch had |

|
On November 28th the lower lead shield was installed with 3/8" shimming at the front end, and 11/32" shimming at the rear end. The south
and east faces were aligned as flush as possible with the lower center block. The beam dump insert was then placed on the rails in the lower lead
shield. |
