|
Lid up operations took place on January 21st starting at 10:25 lid went up without issue. Couple things to note are station 11 had a number of spikes
in the first ten inches of travel and number five had a couple in the first five inches of travel. We will monitor these stations and perform maintenance
as needed. Station three which has spares #13 saw above normal heat generation in the right side High field gear box, we will investigate next week. |

|
Outrigger 2 vertical drive repair is complete - ball screws were replaced to resolve a jamming issue (this work was done in the summer).
The outrigger has been recalibrated and all limit switches and feedback signals tested. All ranges of motion were tested multiple times as well.

|
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 |

|
Prior to commencing work on jacking stations we installed a wall mounted come along plate as per Jason kapalkas instructions Completed spare jack
swap on station 11 and 12, station 11 was swapped with spare set # 13 and station 12 now has # 14 jack set in its place. Once jack stations where swapped
we proceeded to clean, inspect and re grease 11-12 upper bearings. |

|
On January 8, 2018, while troubleshooting the Cyclotron Elevating System during the lid-up operation, the
insulation on the three motor drive wires were repaired (w/ electrical tape) and the two motor brake wires were
replaced (w/ crimped butt splices) between the horizontal conduit below the Cyclotron and the terminal block on

|
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, January 31, 2018, 11:20, Isaac Earle, Cyclotron, Standard Operation, HE1 probe reinstalled
|
HE1 probe was reinstalled in the cyclotron this morning as per the procedure in Document 126165. Hardware for the probe head motion had been
repaired/replaced by Probes Group, so the probe head could be put in the fully retracted position. The job went smoothly and nothing unusual was
encountered. |

Thursday, January 25, 2018, 17:16, Isaac Earle, Cyclotron, Standard Operation, HE1 probe removed
|
The HE1 probe was removed from the cyclotron today using the procedure in Document 126165. The reason for removal is so that Probes Groups
can attempt to repair a problem with stuck probe head drive. Due the failure, the probe head was almost at the inboard travel limit (towards cyclotron
center post) at the time of removal. Additional cut-outs were added to the HE probe frame to accommodate the probe head and ribbon cable wheel which were |
