  2476   Wednesday, August 09, 2023, 13:43 Carla BabcockNorth Hot-CellStandard OperationTM2TiC#6TiC#6 PIE

PIE on TiC#6 was done in the NHC. The target assembly looked brand new when we took it out, no heating spots or deposits (pictures on docushare). Online we measured a 400kOhm connection between TGHT-TBHT-COIL to HV common (TGHT and COIL shorted in TM2 service tray) and anode was unstable above ~300V. After the module move and before the target removal David found TGHT-TBHT-COIL was a dead short to HV common and the anode was at 39kOhms to HV common.

1. Wanted to see if the TGHT-TBHT-COIL short was on the COIL. Measured with ohmmeter the COIL lines to HS and got about 700Ohms. But with the target lying down the COIL lines drop and touch the heat shield so to do this measurement Chad had to lift the lines, which could cause them to touch something else. So not sure how reliable this measurement was. It jumped around a lot, saw 0L occasionally.

2. Measured both target legs and tantalum gas line to HS, got about 5kOhms repeatedly using the ohmmeter.

3. Meggered across the gas line insulator to the gas line going into the target and got open circuit at 250V, so the gas line wasn't coated.

4. Target container looked vaguely red in the areas where the target material was, otherwise still no deposits on the inside. The container was not overly crystalized as seen on the legs and end caps.

5. Some sparking marks on the EE and some slightly asymmetric deposits

Continuing Aug. 22 2023:

6. Found what looks like a hole in the insulation on the COIL, maybe the cause of our short? Found a corresponding line mark on the copper plates that hold the coil down but not sure if it is related. Pics on docushare.

7. Grid looks perfectly new. Where was that current going?

8. Copper plates that hold coil were loose and bolts that hold coil in just fell out as well.

9. What can be seen of the anode wire looks good.

  2471   Thursday, August 03, 2023, 12:24 Jason ZhangCraneDevelopment  Cleanup of camera installation on target hall crane, installation of replacement laser

 The cleanup of the ISAC Target Hall crane and installation of the new SICK laser which replaced the IBEO laser for the EW crane position was completed on Aug 03 2023.

The clean up tasks which were completed: (Removal of tape viewing camera, Removal of tape, Installation of extension cord, Consolidation of power supplies for the lasers and removal of old laser) 

Currently power bar is still present to act as an extension cable. This will be removed when 2m extension cord is made and put in next target exchange cycle.
   

The installation and testing of new SICK Laser:

1. Calibration points were taken at the 4 corner limits of the crane. North South and East West positions were recorded.

2. Crane was parked at the ladder access position and mounting bracket was machined and installed.

3. A new cable was made and installed for the SICK laser. Continuity test was performed from the control room and crane to ensure pinout of the laser worked with existing serial communication setup in the control room PC.

4. The feedback values from the new SICK laser and old IBEO laser were compared to determine that a calibration offset of 0.06m was needed in the Laser Position Feedback program.

5. Laser Position Feedback program was re-compiled to communicate with 2x SICK lasers with the calibration offset value included in the EW feedback position. (Laser Crane PositionDlg.cpp)

6. Calibration points were taken at the 4 corner limits of the crane again with the new Laser. North South and East West positions were recorded.

There was less than 0.1% variance between the new laser and old laser which is well within the tolerance of the lasers themselves. It can be determined that it was properly calibrated.

In an effort to clean up the camera installation on top of the ISAC target hall crane to resolve a fault, the position measuring tape and its associated camera were removed from the target hall crane on July 31, 2023.

 

Still to do: clean up power bar installation.

  2469   Friday, July 28, 2023, 10:21 Adam NewsomeSpent Target VaultMaintenance  Mini Storage Vault: Bearing Lubrication

The bearings on the mini storage vault were lubricated. It is suspected that this has never been done. It is suggested that this be performed every two years.

A draft procedure will be created for this job, but at a high level, this process involves:

  • Opening the door fully
  • Disconnection of the motor, limit switches, and cable management system
  • Attachment of a lifting magnet to the door itself
  • Raising the door
  • Lubricating bearings
  • Reversing the process to re-assemble

The entire job took less than 1 hour to complete.
