|
Today Grant Minor, Dan Wright, Arthur Leung, and Dan Louie checked the height difference between the tank lid upper travel limit switch and the tank
lid over travel limit switch at both stations 1 and 10.
In the attached photos, the upper travel limit is the lever on the right. The over travel limit is the lever on the left. |

Monday, March 11, 2013, 19:43, Grant Minor, Cyclotron, Repair, Adjustment of tank lid upper limit by 1/4" upwards
|
This morning Don Jackson commented to Grant Minor that he believed the tank lid was still not raised high enough to safely operate the Remote Handling
bridge and trolleys, despite it having been raised 0.5" yesterday to the point of engaging the limit switches (see e-log from yesterday). Don
said he believed this to be the case as a result of a visual inspection with binoculars from the outside of the tank, as well as from the views achievable |

Friday, March 08, 2013, 18:42, Grant Minor, Cyclotron, Repair, Tank lid not at upper limit and resulting effects
|
This morning during routine service bridge work in the Cyclotron tank, it was observed by Travis Cave that the cable tray for the Remote Handling service
bridge was catching on something on the top inside surface of the Cyclotron tank. The cable tray was observed to visibly snag on this protrusion
and then bounce around. |

|
Setup of the HE 1 probe is difficult has we have no mockup of it to properly setup cameras and equipment for it. This is problem for both extraction
and installation of the probe. Also with the setup some of the broken micro switch from the HE 1 was found on the HE 1 probe jig after the jig was deconned
and moved up the B2 level. Also for setup required camera adjustment to be made with the heavy contaminated probe being very close to the person setting |

|
On Monday February 4TH the Service Bridge was being lifted into the Cyclotron with the Carrier. It was noticed that one of the two Hydraulic
Jacks was leaking. All work stopped and the Service Bridge and Carrier were moved to the Remote Handling B2 level for repair. The Service Bridge and Carrier
were separated and the Hydraulic Jacks were inspected. It was noticed that both Hydraulic Jacks were leaking. Two overhaul kits were ordered. Two other |

|
Attached is a scan of a handwritten record from 1994 showing yoke-to-upper-structure gap measurements from 1994, both L and R sides, with tank under
vacuum and vented.
The measurements appear to be made with a 0.25" shim and 0.01" pieces of shim stock as they are only in increments of 10 thou. |

Due to concerns raised regarding the state of the lubrication of the power screws at Station 9, the lubrication was visually inspected by me and Ron
Kuramoto on February 4th.

Monday, February 04, 2013, 13:52, Grant Minor, Service Bridge, Repair, Hydraulic cylinder failure on service bridge 6x
|
The hydraulic cylinder on the West side of the service bridge (used to raise the bridge for insertion into the Cyclotron) failed this morning, leaking
oil in the vault tunnel. Most likely this was due to a failed seal or gasket.
Maico Dalla Valle has removed both the East and West cylinders for refurbishment and is pursuing repair kits from Hyseco. |

|
Lid-up was first attempted yesterday (Jan 28th) by Dan Louie, Arthur Leung, and Maico Dalla Valle. They experienced problems with Station 9 continually
tripping the system and were not successful.
This morning again there were problems raising the lid above ~1 inch due to tripping at station 9. It was observed that the mechanical counter |

It was observed during the last time the Cyclotron service bridge was used the orbit drive chain had a lot of slack. The drive motor had to be shimmed
to tighten the slack in the chain. |

Shut down work for 2012.Replaced serviced Jacking Station #6. Tapered alignment pins were damaged. They were skimmed and checked and installed. Station
#4 was removed and the spare Station was put in its place.Station # 4 Upper Bearing was inspected and serviced.Station #4 had a problem with the Jack on
the right side.The coupling hub than joins the Jack to the High Field was installed backwards.(Not sure how long the hub has been like this maybe 15-20 |

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 |

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 |
