Tuesday, February 21, 2017, 13:40, Isaac Earle, Cyclotron, Standard Operation, HE2 Probe Returned to Cyclotron
|
The HE2 probe was reinstalled in the cyclotron this morning following the procedure in Document #126165. An orbital bridge position of 247.35°
was used (same as for the removal on Feb 9th). The installation went smoothly. |

Thursday, February 09, 2017, 15:21, Isaac Earle, Cyclotron, Standard Operation, HE2 Probe Removed
|
The HE2 probe was removed from the cyclotron today following the
procedure in Document #126165. An orbital bridge position of 247.35° provided better alignment than 247.2
from the procedure. The probe signal head was intentionally left in the "up" position by Diagnostics Group which did not cause any issues |

|
Annual jack maintenance : Jack 10b upon inspection it was found that the output shaft seal on 10b was in need of replacement. In past years RH personal
had to remove a LoveJoy coupling which required cutting of the coupler due to galling and possible interference tolerances being out. We sourced sample
split seals from Motion Canada that can be installed with out coupling removal we will install and monitor to determine the effectiveness and the possibility |

|
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 |

|
The HE1 Probe was reinstalled into the cyclotron this morning following Section 3.2 in Document-126165 (to be reviewed and released after camera
view screen captures added). The procedure took approximately 1 hour from when the trolley was moved into the cyclotron tank until when it was removed.
Camera view screenshots were captured throughout the procedure and the probe head was inspected with the left outrigger camera after installation |
