Final assembly of the source tray for TM2 was started this morning.

Sliding tray was received from keensert installation and cleaned.

Mounting plate/ionizer tube location jig was rechecked against assembly ITA3136...Mounting plate was loosened, jigs for centering the ceramic shields installed and fasteners re-torqued to 57 in lbs.

Upon attempted assemble of ITA3536 and 3537 (support frames) it was noticed that the countersinks were not deep enough...the heads of the screws protrude and would interfere with/damage the support insulators. These items have been given to Dan to have the counterbores adjusted...drawing should be changed to insure a small gap.

Also, one of the support frames has marks on its side that may be a high voltage issue.

Upon inspection of the components in question (ITA3540 & 3538) it was found that they have been made to spec and model; however the spec& model does not allow for adequate theoretical clearance given tolerances. Countersinks will be adjusted and changes documented.

"Pitting" will attempt to be lapped.

Countersink problem with supports has been remedied. Scratches, dings, and pitting has been buffed out and supports re-cleaned and re-assembled.

Friedhelm was consulted regarding the appearance of fine scratches on the main stand-off insulators...the best two matching ones were chosen and assembly continued.

Alignment will start tomorrow.

On Tuesday morning I attempted to complete assembly of the source tray for TM2 however discovered that 3 1/4-20 x 0.25 titanium helicoils had not been installed into the mounting plate as they should have been. Checked and asked around for them but to no avail. I have ordered some, they should have been here yesterday.

Also, I have noticed that the threaded portion of the target pins ITA0328A appear to be too long and as such may be (are indeed) touching the supports. I am going to remove 1/32" or appropriate to remedy this problem (drawing shows 0.035 clearance).

Missing heli coils installed this morning.

Threads had to be chased with tap for 1/4-20 heli coil and missing countersinks hand applied to allow for installation. Care was taken to ensure no "swarf" was spread and operation was super clean. Chased holes blown out with canned air and a vacuum placed on the other side.

Final assembly can and will now continue.

TM2 Tray Alignment is complete except for verification with alignment tray.

First attempt results were:

Front Target: Low 0.011, Left 0.011

Rear Target: Low 0.013, Left 0.002

Final iteration:

Front Target: Vertical 0, Horizontal 0

Rear target: Vertical - 0.003 low, Horizontal 0

Pictures were very hard to get but are below...camera is impossible to get square to lens so pictures are not entirely representative of looking through transit.

TM2 tray alignment was confirmed with the alignment tray this morning:

Front target 0.000 vertically, 0.000 horizontally.

Back target 0.003 low, 0.000 horizontally

Also, the master target jig was installed and measurements taken:

Front master target - 0.007 high, 0.000 left/right

Rear Master Target - 0.007 high, 0.000 left/right

Rear tray target - 0.003 low

TM2 TiC#6 post run electrical check has been done at TCS. See attachment

TM2 TP1/TP2 and TCS:TP1S have been started at TCS. The starting time and operation of turbo pumps are ok. TM2 had been stored in silo since last Oct.

TP1/TP2 work fine over long weekend and TCS vacuum is good. I switched off TCS vacuum system.

Containment box window waterlines have been connected and leak checked and new containment box cover installed.

Module ready for transport just before 9am.

Water block jig has been removed. Stuck source tray side water block jig component has been removed. An attempt was made to connect the gas lines to there bracket however they contact/interfer with the tube heater lines...Anders is looking into a solution.

Containment box and front cover have been replaced and TM2 is ready to move to the silo.

IMG gauge, clip for ground to window lines and gas line extensions were installed today.

David and I also tried to locate the short between the coil line and MSP/Heat Shield...it went away for a bit...but is back.

Gas lines extensions installed yesterday were too long and gas lines touched top inside of containment box. They have been removed and the gas lines re-installed in their original manner. Gas lines have been "adjusted" as to clear the tube heater lines, which was the original issue.

Ultem high voltage spacer installed and 9 pin banana plug plugged in. Target has been inserted into the hot cell and will be installed after base-line electrical checks...probably first thing in the morning.

As previously mentioned, dump target installed with new mounting and high current fasteners.

Leak Check complete and ready to move to CS at 1:30

The source tray has been removed from TM2.

TM4 optics tray was installed onto the old TM2 source tray yesterday and tray filled with non-active metal scrap. Tray inserted into transfer frame 95% yesterday. During insertion the ball nut of the transfer jig became unfastened from its drive plate. This will have to be fixed before the jig can be used reliably again however we were able to finish the job...the transfer jig is 20 years old now so it is not entirely suprising that it needs some attention.

Today the Tm2 tray final install into the transport tray occurred by driving the tray drive screw and bringing the tray into the transfer frame the last inch 1/2 or so. "Feet" (ITA2380) had to be removed from sliding tray assembly to fit in the box however upon attempting this is was immediately clear that one of the screws was stuck and must have been cross threaded during assembly. As as result the entire drive bracket (ITA2375) had to be removed form the source tray to allow final insertion into the box.

11 handles from spent target transfers, 1 plastic bin box, Ta LP test target TRI coil, 1 aluminum box, sockets and extensions from spent target transfers and 5 obsolete legs from previous source tray replacements were amoung the items disposed of with the spent source tray.

The containment box has been removed from TM2, the Enzel lens and steerers disconnected and optics tray removal has commenced.

Window waterline has been successfully connected using 1 1/2 inch long non-blunt start 1/4-28 bolts.

All bolt torques have been checked with dial torque wrench and are confirmed to be tight to 90 in lbs.

Today cleaning and polishing pads were inserted into the hot cell.

Module side waterblock jig installation was attempted however one of the locking tabs/latches (ITA2405?) came undone/fell off. Luckily, I had old, obsolete jigs in the hot cell so I was able to remove parts I needed from an old one and rebuild the current one.

Jig was installed on module to retain module side waterblocks.

Blank-off remove was commenced, however due to and large amount of water coming out of the line to have the blank-off removed work had to stop till the water evaporates.

Waterblock sealing surface cleaning and polishing will continue tomorrow.

Also, upon installing the jig a piece of fiberglass that had previously been manual inserted between two of the water lines (early to mid 2000's) fell out.

 The following work was done on June 18 2015:

- Finished cleaning and polishing all water blocks on module side (white felt with isopropyl, then buffing material with isopropyl, then canned air).  Heat shield waterblock re-done because water marks visible (white scotchbrite, white felt w/ isopropyl, buffing material w/ isopropyl, then canned air).  All surfaces looked very good, no lint or scratches visible.  
- Tray installed using installation jig (jig was very difficult to slide on hot cell table).  Window circuit waterline bracket tube retaining screws had to be removed for the sourcetray to clear the module frame.  Optics tray locating mushroom on source tray rubbed against the module side waterblock jig and was pushed past.  Gas lines were held clear of the source tray with the manipulator as the it went in.  The nut on the source tray side water block guide pin had to be loosened to facilitate complete insertion of the source tray.
- Connection of waterblocks for circuits D, C, B, A, Febiad Coil 2 were done in the sequence listed with no issues
- Extraction electrode and heat shield water blocks could not be done up initially because the locking tabs could not be undone (interference with module side jig bracket)
- Ground electrode waterblock connected without issue
- Window waterblock attempted: screws would not engage
- Febiad coil 1 negative waterblock source tray side locking tab had to be re-inserted into block, then waterblock was connected
- Febiad coil 1 positive connected without issue (failed initially due to shorter screw)
- Mounting support plate waterblock alignment pins did not engage initially, rotated source tray side waterblock using polishing tool.  Then was connected without issue.
- Extraction electrode waterblock revisited: pulled together with 1-5/8" screw, then connected (with 1-3/8" screws in both holes as per ITA6144)
- Heat shield waterblock revisited: installed without issue (as the jig had been pulled together by the previous step)
- Attempted window water block again.  Right side manipulator wrist tong cable broke while using camera.  Waterblock could not be connected (holes look concentric, pins engaged, blocks together and almost flush)
- All waterblocks except window waterblock torqued (tool did not slip properly, so torque will be re-checked)

Plan for Friday June 19:
- Put blank-offs and various fasteners in hot cell through tool port
- Check torque of all waterblocks with dial torque wrench
- Attempt window water line again with different fasteners (non-blunt start), try removing both sides of waterblock alignment jigs
- Install blank-offs on window and heat shield lines (VCRs)
- Perform preliminary leak check
