Thursday, September 05, 2024, 12:50, Adam Newsome, Crane, Maintenance, , , Overhead crane: up/down hoist delayed start issue
|
D. Wang reports that recently the overhead crane has been exhibiting a delayed start (approx. 1 min) when operating in local mode. This issue applies
to the main hoist's up/down functionality only and does not seem to apply to other motion axes. T. Kauss briefly investigated but did not find any obvious
cause. |

Wednesday, September 11, 2024, 13:38, Adam Newsome, North Hot-Cell, Repair, , , Spare Manipulator - Y-axis motion not functioning
|
Update 2024-09-12: C. Fisher confirms this is actually normal behaviour. The Y-axis motion is inhibited when X and Z
are in a certain configuration, which was true when the manipulator was mounted on the wall in storage position. Non-issue. A note about this has been
made in the operator manual. |

|
On 2024-09-12, CNL reported difficulty with lowering Pail 275 from F-308 flask #22 into their tile hole. The four other pails associated with this shipment
were successfully emplaced. It is suspected that the issue was related to a kink in the lowering cable, causing a jam during lowering. This was observed
approximately 1 year ago. |
