 Tuesday, May 02, 2017, 16:52, Isaac Earle, BL4N, Development, BL4N 35-deg bender stand hardened parts tested
|
Hardness testing was performed on 1 sample each of parts TBP1822 and TBP1823 (part of the 35-deg magnet stand assembly TBP1804), They were
found to be 60-60.5 Rc and 60-61 Rc respectively which is within spec. The alloy used to fabricate these parts was AISI #8620. The testing was performed
by Precision Heat Treat in Surrey who also performed the heat treatment at an earlier date. |
Monday, June 05, 2017, 16:16, Isaac Earle, BL4N, Development, BL4N 35-deg bender stand assembly complete 14x
|
Assembly of two complete bender stands was completed on Friday June 2nd
as well as installation of new hardware on the dipole magnets for support, adjustment, and seismic restraint. All parts were installed according
to drawing TBP1804. |

Thursday, June 01, 2017, 15:25, Isaac Earle, BL4N, Development, BL4N 35-deg bender adjustment blocks modified to fit magnet
|
Adjustment blocks were installed on the second dipole bender today (labeled "No. 03" "C15-III-57/15"). The mounting holes on
the magnet were not aligned properly, so modification was required for two of the blocks. The counterbored holes on TBP1809 were slotted 0.10"
vertically, and on TBP1808, 0.06" horizontal slotting was required. A stress analysis was performed to confirm that the blocks are still strong |

Wednesday, June 28, 2017, 17:37, Isaac Earle, BL4N, Development, BL4N 35-deg bender "No. 1" installed on magnet stand
|
BL4N 35-deg bender magnet "No. 1" has been installed onto the magnet stand with "stand leg" configuration in the Proton Hall
Extension loading bay area. The magnet fit as expected, and with the support legs resting on the ball transfers the magnet position could be easily
adjusted by turning one of the adjuster leg fasteners (with the others loose). After experimenting with position adjustment, the fasteners were torqued |

Friday, May 15, 2015, 11:06, Isaac Earle, 100KW Beam Dump, Development, BD and Upper Pb Shield Water Hoses Replaced
|
The beam dump and upper lead shield flexible hose assemblies have been replaced with smaller diameter versions to allow for easier remote handling.
The new beam dump hoses are TEL5501 (Rev A) & TEL5502 (Rev A). The new upper lead hoses are TEL5503 (Rev B) and TEL5504 (Rev B). All
Swagelok joints were installed 1-1/4 turns past finger tight as per Swagelok instructions. The new Swagelok connections have not been leak tested |

On Dec 2 the cables from the BD service stand area to the junction box were traced to establish which sensors correspond to which cable number in the
junction box.

Tuesday, April 18, 2017, 19:28, Jason Kapalka, T-Hall Crane, Development, ATH overhead crane fault investigation 8x
|
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 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

Wednesday, April 12, 2017, 10:52, Jason Kapalka, T-Hall Crane, Repair, ARIEL Target Hall crane oil leaks & inspection plan
|
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 |

Tuesday, May 16, 2017, 17:30, Jason Kapalka, T-Hall Crane, Development, ARIEL Target Hall Overhead Crane Measurements
|
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). |

Thursday, March 16, 2023, 14:41, Adam Newsome, T-Hall Crane, Development, ARIEL Target Hall Crane - Spare Pendant Procured, Tested
|
A spare pendant for the overhead crane was procured from COH. The pendant's functionality is the same as the original one's. The pendant was tested today
by Adam Newsome - all functions behave as expected.
Important - to change to the spare pendant in the case of failure of the original one, insert a battery into it, and transfer |

Tuesday, April 25, 2023, 12:28, Adam Newsome, T-Hall Crane, Standard Operation, ARIEL Target Hall Crane - Drives Fault
|
Today while operating the crane with load, the crane stopped moving. Upon investigating, all safety signals appeared to be OK. Fault messages regarding
drive faults for various VFDs were present, which seemed to stem from an ethernet adapter card fault (see attached photo). It is unknown how this occurred,
but suspected that it was due to a brief blip in network communications or the external drive power supply control signal. It is worth noting that the |

|
Today RH (CF and AK) agreed upon using the following style of gaskets for the ARIEL front ends:
All metal rings to be used to avoid plastic retaining rings deteriorating due to radiation and leaving bits stuck in the nuts
Parker style (4 VGR-SS and 8 VGR-SS) gaskets for all VCR joints, except
For the piston module and hanging water line VCR joints (found |

Wednesday, January 15, 2025, 13:23, Albert Kong, Hot Cell 1, Development, 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 |

Tuesday, November 19, 2024, 15:38, Albert Kong, Hot Cell 1, Standard Operation, APTW Front End Moved into Hot Cell 23x
|
The APTW front end was moved into the hot cell, on the lift table, following procedures outlined in Document-244862.
The mock-up frame was transferred from the east turntable to the west turntable above the front end. The east turntable is covered with the aluminum
plate. During covering we accidentally broke the o-ring for the turntable plate flange. The new o-ring seal should be made ~1" longer in circumference |

Wednesday, January 15, 2025, 12:57, Albert Kong, Hot Cell 1, Development, APTW Front End HTV Water Connector Exchange Testing
|
The four water connections on the front end plate of the APTW that will connect to the HTV were tested for replacement with the manipulators:
The pin on these connectors were fairly easy to remove and replace with the old pin detent tool.
The horizontal VCR joint
on the DRIVE BEAM CONE (ATA3674) could be undone with the manipulator and standard wrenches, it is advisable to use 'semi-closed' wrenches on the nut to |

The four water connections on the front end plate of the APTW that will connect to the HTV were tested for replacement with the manipulators:
The pin on these connectors were fairly easy to remove and replace with the old pin detent tool.
The pin detent tool could
also be used to manipulate the water lines while protecting the sealing face.
