|
All trolleys work electrically and control wise. One encoder was found non functioning on the upper resonator trolley for the vertical drive it was replaced,
we've no move replacements of those current type of encoders so a wholesale replacement of all the trolley's encoders will have to be done post shutdown.
Also the wiring for the outrigger is in need of replacement but will work for this shutdown it will also have to be replaced post shutdown as well. The |

|
Routine maintenance as per Mike Gallop's written procedure took place in December with the only non routine service being the changing of shaft seals
on Vacuum trolley drive reduction box.
Trolleys maintained - Lift trolley |
Friday, February 26, 2021, 08:29, Adam Newsome, Trolleys serviced, Maintenance, First Turn Radial Flag (FTRF) Jig - Pneumatic Upgrade 
|
Old fittings and broken pneumatic tubing on the FTRF jig have been replaced with new push-connect fittings and polyurethane tubing. The jig was previously
not in a functioning state due to damaged tubing. A pneumatic diagram was created in the process of the upgrade. The tubing will be cleaned up within the
next few days and the jig tested. |

Friday, February 26, 2021, 13:00, Adam Newsome, Trolleys serviced, Maintenance, Lower Resonator Trolley - Radial Drive Failure Issue
|
On Feb. 24 while practising a training exercise, the lower resonator trolley unexpectedly experienced a radial drive failure. The trolley did not move
in either radial direction (this occurred after approx. 5 minutes in the tank, near the centre post, with FTRF jig installed). The trolley was retrieved
from the tank manually for investigation. Upon retrieval and testing on the mockup, the radial drive began to work again. |

Tuesday, August 31, 2021, 14:28, 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 |

|
60 month service completed. Bearings for drive motor wheels regreased, Reducer repacked with Molub Alloy 777-1 ES, all mechanically sound.
Recommended to swap out front right drive wheel in 5 years due to minimal deteoration. |
|
Monday, June 03, 2024, 14:29, 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. |

Tuesday, June 04, 2024, 14:29, Riley Sykes, Trolleys serviced, Maintenance, Lower Resonator Trolley
|
12, 24 and 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 scissor mechanism inspected and all operations observed to be in sound mechanical condition. |

|
1,2 and 5 Year service completed. Vertical ball screws and chains inspected and regreased with Chemours Krytox EG 2000 suitable for vacuum and
clean room situations. Mechanically sound, will do a once over before next shutdown period. |

Tuesday, February 14, 2012, 15:40, Grant Minor, Trolley, Standard Operation, 2C Removal - all 4 QDLs were actuated remotely this year!
|
Today Remote Handling staff (Maico Dalla Valle, Travis Cave) used the Remote Handling 2C probe removal trolley to remove the probe assembly from inside
the Cyclotron. This is a regular yearly MRO task that is done every shutdown.
This task involves lining up the 2C trolley on the service bridge with the 2C probe assembly remotely with cameras, using a set of alignment markings |

Friday, February 17, 2012, 15:07, 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 |

Thursday, June 30, 2016, 13:47, Dan McDonald, Trolley, Maintenance, Lift trolley
|
Maintenance has been performed on the lift trolley, re sealed the main drive gear box it was quite dry inside and in need of new seals and lubrication.
Inspected the vertical gear box and resealed it, re tensioned the vertical drive chain after removing gear box and finding since last year the chain
had become somewhat slack causing it to rub on the frame. Purchased a new LED light bar to replace the aging and failing flourescent light that was in |

Friday, February 02, 2018, 14:14, Don Jackson, Trolley, Repair, Overcurrent on radial drive motor
|
Lower resonator trolley radial motor overcurrent was causing control system to drop
out momentarily. All controlled devices acted as expected and reverted to their fail-safe mode. |

Monday, February 19, 2018, 12:58, maicodallavalle, Trolley, Repair, Lift Trolley Repair
|
We had just finished pulling out the ladders from the cyclotron with the lift trolley. We started to run the lift trolley into the cyclotron when it
stopped moving. The radial drive gearbox was the problem. We pulled the gearbox off. Replaced the key and the lift trolley is all repaired. |

Wednesday, September 04, 2019, 15:29, Adam Newsome, Trolley, Maintenance, Connector faceplate and tubing upgrade
|
Tool Trolley:
The connector faceplate was replaced with a new version to allow for more space for service, and consolidate video lines into a single 9-pin CPC
connector. A model and drawing were created and are part of the overall tool trolley assembly (to be added to PDM later): TRH1394 |

Wednesday, February 05, 2020, 15:04, Adam Newsome, Trolley, Repair, Upper resonator trolley: cylinders for Ex 2C tasks
|
[B]Cylinder 4[/B] 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 [B]replaced[/B] 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 |

Monday, March 21, 2022, 13:14, 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. |
