Travis Cave | Shielding | Standard Operation | shields |
More shields have been removed from the cyclotron only 16 remain. I was also noted that the lift trolley is making an odd noise and will be looked at after the shutdown. |

Adam Newsome | Trolley | Repair | Video Trolley Mk 1 - Radial Limit Switch Replacement |
An issue was observed in which radial motion on the Video Trolley Mk 1 did not respond to commands. After troubleshooting, it was determined that this was due to the "OP LIMIT" interlock - the "OP LIMIT" pushbutton on the console was illuminated in red, and needed to be continuously held down in order to operate the radial in/out motion buttons.
It was determined that the root cause of the issue was a failed radial limit switch which was likely damaged during trolley transport. The limit switch was replaced, and functionality was restored. |

Don Jackson | Trolley | Repair | Video Trolley Failed in Cyclotron Tank |
All control to the video trolley was lost during remote photographing of components in the cyclotron. The control system and cameras on the trolley were still operational leading to the suspicion that a power cable was broken either on the trolley or the bridge festooning. Two trips into the tank were made to evaluate the problem and attempt to push the trolley out of the tank. Pushing the trolley only managed to move the trolley a few feet before jamming. A lift mechanism was used to raise the drive wheel without any success. This device was modified and used successfully to remove trolley completely from the tank.
Three trips by two persons were required to remove the trolley. There was a total dose of 0.5 mSv was received by the two persons going into the tank. An additional 0.18mSv was receive by 3 persons outside of the tank.
The trolley will not be used in the cyclotron until the problem is diagnosed and repaired. This trolley is not critical to any upcoming remote handling operations. |

Adam Newsome | Trolley | Repair | Upper resonator trolley: cylinders for Ex 2C tasks |
Cylinder 4 on the upper resonator trolley was not fully functional when removing Ex 2C during 2020 shutdown. It worked occasionally. Upon inspection it was determined that it was binding when extend was attempted. This cylinder was replaced Feb 5, 2020 (model: American Cylinder 562SVS-2.00).
The other three cylinders were inspected and all of their shafts appear significantly bent. Replacement cylinders will be ordered and these will be replaced to prevent further issues.
Edit: all cylinders have been replaced as of Oct 8, 2020
Note: the solenoid valves that control these cylinders are quite dated and are leaky. The layout, plumbing, and wiring could also be improved. One of the cylinders' default position is extended which suggests a wiring/plumbing issue. I will look into replacing these as well, and creating pneumatic circuit documentation.
This e-log will be updated when replacement is completed. |

Adam Newsome | Trolleys serviced | Development | Upper Resonator Trolley - Finger Cylinders Replaced |
The two support fingers on the upper resonator trolley were bent due to excessive loading during cylinder toggling.
Fingers were bent back into position such that they are vertical when the cylinder is retracted.
The cylinders used to actuate these fingers were replaced (one was leaking) - replacement allowed for the opportunity for upgrade. The following changes were made:
- Changing reverse spring-return cylinders to double-acting cylinders (formerly American Cylinder 750RVS-2.00, replaced with SMC NCDMB075-0200C)
- Addition of in-line flow controls for both extension and retraction motions
- Tuning of flow control to achieve smooth operation and prevent further damage to the fingers during actuation
The new finger configuration has been tested and is working. |

Riley Sykes | Trolleys serviced | Maintenance | Upper Resonator Trolley |
24 Month, 60 month service completed. Bearings for drive motor wheels regreased and observed to move freely without load. Reducers repacked with Molub Alloy 777-1 ES. Vertical ball screw mechanism inspected and bearing change postponed due to lack of major usage, recommend change within next 5 years or service. All mechanically sound. |
