 Wednesday, June 24, 2015, 15:19, Isaac Earle, 100KW Beam Dump, Development, Remainder of BD Shielding Installed
|
The location of the already installed blocks including the TSH0392 protruding lift bails were remeasured, and it was found that modification of the Standard
Lock-Block Flat Top block was not required. A Standard Lock-Block Flat Top block was installed in the place of TSH0487 in drawing TSH0372, and the
remainder of the blocks on top were installed. It was a tight fit for the lower two Half Height Lock-Blocks, but future removal of the BD shielding |

Thursday, May 07, 2015, 16:23, Isaac Earle, 100KW Beam Dump, Development, RH Clamp Installed with Used Seal
|
The remote handling 4" marman flange clamp was reinstalled today with a used seal. It is "Clamp B" as tested in Document-114623.
The purpose of installing the clamp now is to prepare for the upcoming remote handling test of the vacuum joint and one of the water blocks.
During installation it was found that it will be necessary to manipulate both the BD flange and the EHDT beam pipe flange to have the seal mated |

Friday, April 17, 2015, 14:37, Isaac Earle, 100KW Beam Dump, Development, RH Clamp Delivered to Beamlines Group
|
A 4" Remote Handling Marman Flange Clamp was delivered to Doug Preddy today to be used to clamp the EHDT beam pipe section to the beam dump
during beam pipe installation.
The clamp is one of the two manufactured in 2014, Identified with marker "B" |
Wednesday, May 07, 2025, 13:50, Isaac Earle, Hot Cell 1, Development, Prototype testing of APTW beam dump module water connections 
|
Test jig ATA6060 was used to evaluate the 1" VCR connections on the APTW Beam Dump Module (ATA5900). The test jig accurately mimics the space
constraints on the real module. This testing was prescribed as an action item from the design review for the module due to concerns that very high
force would be required to make the connections. The test jig was installed on the east shelf in the hot cell. |

Friday, February 18, 2022, 09:26, Adam Newsome, T-Hall Crane, Maintenance, Potential grease leak observed
|
Naimat Khan noticed after using the crane that some grease dropped onto a spreader bar, and believes it is a leak from the main hoist (see attached photo).
The hoist should be inspected.

Monday, January 25, 2016, 13:20, Allon Messenberg, T-Hall Crane, Maintenance, Possible oil leak
|
Two small (approx. 5 cm across) puddles of green fluid were discovered on the floor, directly below the crane trolley. The hook block was lowered
and inspected. No fluid found on hook block.
The plant group (Neil Wong) was notified and asked to schedule an inspection when the maintenance crew is on site to inspect the ISAC target hall |

Friday, January 20, 2023, 14:48, Adam Newsome, T-Hall Crane, Standard Operation, Pendant/Receiver Communication Issue (Repeated)
|
An issue was observed in which the pendant did not work to control the crane. This is the second time in recent memory this has happened. See e-log
55 for details. The same sequence of steps outlined in e-log 55 was followed, and the pendant control was re-established. It is still unclear what
the root cause of this issue is, but it is suspected that the crane pendant loses communication with the receiver for some reason, and even though communication |

Wednesday, August 24, 2022, 13:47, Adam Newsome, T-Hall Crane, Standard Operation, Pendant/Receiver Communication Issue
|
In preparing to troubleshoot the issue described in e-log #54, the crane was power cycled, and the pendant battery removed, to get to a "fresh start"
state. Prior to this, the crane functioned normally aside from the incorrect E/W direction control on the North Aux Hoist.
Upon powering the crane back on, the pendant did not work to control the crane in any mode. The HMI had a fault present which read "305. Radio |

Tuesday, December 20, 2022, 10:03, Adam Newsome, T-Hall Crane, Standard Operation, Overhead crane powered off for the holidays
|
[edit 2023-01-03] The crane was powered back on this morning - there do not appear to be any faults on the HMI and it seems that the crane was unaffected
by the power outage.
The ARIEL target hall overhead crane was powered off for the holidays. In the new year, throw the main disconnect in the crane control room to |

Tuesday, April 15, 2025, 10:35, Riley Sykes, Hot Cell 1, Repair, North Roxtec Hinge and door.
|
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 |

Friday, July 03, 2020, 15:43, Adam Newsome, T-Hall Crane, Repair, North Aux Hoist: West Travel Motion Failure
|
An issue was observed in which the North Aux hoist failed to travel West when commanded to, but the East motion was functioning. The North Aux hoist
Trolley was stuck in a position up against the East wall.
Present during troubleshooting: Adam N, Maico D, Tom K, Allon M, Travis C |

Tuesday, March 15, 2022, 10:03, Adam Newsome, T-Hall Crane, Repair, North Aux Hoist VFD Replaced
|
The North Aux Hoist VFD which had failed (e-log 50) was replaced today by Tom Kauss and Adam Newsome on Work Permit A2022-03-15-1.
The hoist's motions were all tested - it is functioning normally again. |
|
Wednesday, September 09, 2020, 10:51, Adam Newsome, T-Hall Crane, Repair, North Aux Hoist Replacement (followup on E-Log 44)
|
See E-Log 44 for details on North Aux Hoist failure.
A replacement VFD was ordered by Adam Newsome and installed by Tom Kauss.
Adam and Tom replaced the VFD in the South Aux hoist (which had been relocated to the North Aux hoist). The original braking resistor was used. |

Tuesday, August 23, 2022, 10:32, Adam Newsome, T-Hall Crane, Maintenance, North Aux Hoist - reverse motion axes on E/W
|
Update 2022-10-06: During routine inspection of the crane, Tom Kauss investigated the direction swap issue. It was determined that there was
likely an issue with the initial installation of the new VFD back in March 2022, and that it was unnoticed (directional control wires crossed). The issue
has been resolved by Tom Kauss and is no longer a concern. |
|
Tuesday, February 01, 2022, 08:29, Adam Newsome, T-Hall Crane, Repair, North Aux Hoist - West Motion Failure
|
An issue was observed in which the North Aux hoist failed to travel West when commanded to, but the East motion was functioning. The up/down motion
was also functioning. The North Aux Hoist Trolley failed during regular usage, seemingly randomly, when it was about 70% towards the West end of travel.
Note that the West motion VFD inside the North Aux Hoist is the one previously taken from the South Aux Hoist (the same issue with the North Aux Hoist |

Thursday, January 06, 2022, 10:46, Adam Newsome, T-Hall Crane, Development, Modification of South Limits
|
Edit: as of May 30, 2022, the modification has been reversed, and the crane is functioning normally as per the manufacturer's limits.
Modifications have been made to the crane to allow for the South Aux Hoist to reach closer to the South wall during the ARIEL Hot Cell installation |

Friday, December 05, 2014, 10:43, Isaac Earle, 100KW Beam Dump, Development, Lower Lead Shield Drain Line Installed
|
A 1/8" SS tube was routed from the Swagelok fitting on the front of the lower lead shield to the service stand water catch tray as shown in the
attached photos.
The tube was routed to fit in the cut-out and chamfered corner gaps of block TSH0387 in the de-rated EHDT shielding assembly TSH0293. |

Friday, March 20, 2015, 11:45, Isaac Earle, 100KW Beam Dump, Development, Lower Half of BD EHDT Shielding Installed
|
The lower half of the beam dump EHDT shielding was installed yesterday by Plant Group. After installation of the service stand plug, the
position of the south and east faces of the plug were checked with the laser tracker w.r.t. EHAT MB4. The south face was within approximately 2mm
of nominal, and the east face was approximately 6mm east of nominal position. It was decided that this positioning was acceptable. The modified |

|
The load cell which is located on the crane itself to display the load to operators was reported not working during the week of November 15. It is planned
to investigate on Nov. 25 and this e-log will be updated with the status.
