Subject: Manipulator 'Z' motion cable replacement preparation status 

Aaron and I completed assembling (re-assembling) the clean spare on Tuesday, February 14th to assist in determining a procedure for replacement of the 'Z' motion cable on the south hot cell manipulators.

 

The anchor point in the slave end of the clean manipulator could not be found as the manipulator stand is too low and does not allow full extension of the slave end.

 

Did some poking around on the in-situ manipulator in the south cell and was able to find the anchor point viewing it with the in cell camera (see blurry attached photo).

 

Was able to then find reference to the "cable clamp" in the parts list and drawing for the slave end. Also, confirmed there is not a procedure in the manual for a CABLE 'Z' motion system as we have, only a tape driven system. The procedure should however be very similar safe this mystery anchor point I discovered today and how readily this anchor point can be worked in.
