The following controls-related items were installed for the SMP project:

- Cable tray

- Main control panel

- Motor starter box

- Wiring from limit switches and rotation motor to main control panel

- Air fittings at supply (quick disconnect)

- Main air supply hose from supply to control panel (quick disconnect)

- Air tubing from lid control valve at control panel to lid cylinders

Air fittings stem off existing air supply lines on the South wall, below a manual shutoff valve. A quick disconnect was installed. When SMP is not in use, manual shutoff valve should be left off.

Main control panel and motor starter box were mounted on the North wall. Wire duct runs from the main control panel to the grated floor. Cabling/air runs underneath the mezzanine platform, along existing and new cable tray, to the SMP.

Cable tray was installed on the South wall, from the corner to the SMP module. A cutout was made to accommodate for existing tubing. An additional ~1 ft. of tray will be added to the end, near the corner, at a future time.

Remainder of installation work to be done before commissioning:

- Mount and install new Opto-22 module
- Chain new Opto-22 module to existing one (power, comms) below mezzanine on North wall

Electrical check and HS, window leak check result at SHC. See attachment.

Chad and I leak checked the TM4 HS line after new target installation. base leak rate:0.0Xe-9 atm.cc/sec.  No response on LD during the leak check. The line is leak free so far. It will be helium pressurized at TCS  late.

Chad and I did a leak check on TM4 HS line with new Ta target installed. Base leak rate 0.0xE-9 atm.cc/sec. base pressure 0.0XE-4.   splayed 2 helium to each VCR joints and did 10 seconds helium flush. No response on LD during the test. The HS line is leak free so far. It will be helium pressurized at TCS later.

Chad and I leak checked the TM2 HS and window lines after new target installation.  The window line was very easy pumped down on LD. But, The HS line only could pumped to 2-3 torr at first. Chad changed the VCR gaskets on HS line(target). It solved the problem. The LD could pumped  both of Window and HS lines to the bottom scale. Chad sprayed lots helium around the VCR joints.  No leak has been found. WE will do helium pressurizing test on them at TCS.

Chad and I leak checked Tm2 Hs line with new target installed. Base LR 0.0Xe-9 atm.cc/sec.   No leak has been found. This line will be helium pressured at TCS later.

Chad and I did the leak check on TM2 heat shield line. LD base leak rate:0.0xE-9atm.cc/sec. Base pressure:0.0X E-9 torr. The line is leak free.

Chad and I leak checked TM2 HS line with new UCx target installed. Helium spray  2 seconds on each joint and 10seconds flushing around target in SHC. LD base LR: 0.0XE-9atm.cc/sec, base pressure:0.0XE-4 torr. No response has been found on LD during check. The line is leak free.

Chad and I did leak check on TM1 HS line at SHC. 0.0XE-9 atm.cc/sec.  No leak.

HS line is leak checked at SHC this afternoon by helium spay.  Leak detector base LR 0.0 XE-9atm.cc/sec. Base pressure 0.0Xe-4 torr. No leak has been found. This line will be helium pressured  at TCS. It had  a 1.7XE-7 atm.cc/sec leak rate on 70 psi helium at TCS  during last two target  checks.

 2017-08-03. Helium pressure test on TM2 HS line at TCS is done. 70psi helium, 3 minutes. base leak rate 0.0xE-7 atm.cc/sec. Result: 1.8XE-7atm.cc/sec leak which is almost same as before. This line has a very small leak on water block seal under helium pressure test  which we knew already.

Tong cable snapped when attempting to remove multipin connector bracket"

Repair went as follows:

• weighted clip attached to tong return side to tension/keep tapes on pulleys
• Manipulator was pinned from both sides (Pinning from master side first makes it easier to position slave side)
• clamps were used to suspend all tapes and cables near the relay bracket 
• extension tube limit clamps were moved to the top to stop it from dropping when Z motion tapes disconnected
• Z motion tapes/tension adjusting screws taken off master carriage and suspended with equalizing weight ~10+ lbs)
• Extension tube limit clamps and extension tube lowered give space to expose multiplier later 
• Wrist joint and handle removed as a unit 
• extension tube to multiplier screws taken out
• Extension tube raised to expose multiplier - using extension tube to wrist joint positioning clamp to keep it in place 
• Old cable removed
• new cable installed

installation in reverse with spare master handle 

Notes:

Spare master wrist joint was missing gears that connect wrist drums 

• this had to be disassembled and installed with gears from old wrist joint

Handle ratcheting pawl spring was not oriented properly, so this had to be disassembled and reinstalled properly (in the process one spring was lost Part#: A-5800)
 

On April 2, 2024 the wrist on the SE manipulator of the SHC (Serial # 7986) was swapped with a rebuild unit originally from SW position (serial # 8106). The "new" wrist was a wrist + tong assembled unit with the tong cable being routed if-front of the spacer A-14118 rather then behind as in all previous replacements (see attached pictures). This change was a result of a discussion with Central Research's senior repair technician who informed us that the original routing was incorrect from the factory. This can be seen when inspecting unit we have on-site that are still in the original configuration from the factory as about half are routed one way and half the other.

Rust on S/W silo and cover plate stored at silo area are cleaned up.

Yasmine and I did a rust inpsection on TM4 service cap inide surface and shielding plug surface. No rust has been found. Also, all steel bolts on this surface look fine. The inside of silo held this module are rust free as well.  See attachments

 Dakine is on site to do maintenance on the chiller. The tech requested the chiller to operate.

An inspection was performed on drive systems for both storage vaults (main and mini) by Adam Newsome and Dan McDonald. The functionality was not tested. Overall, nothing concerning was discovered.

Main Storage Vault:

• Chain inspected (OK) and lubricated
• Gearbox inspected - OK
• All drive system set screws checked and tightened (note: chain drive screw slightly loose)
• Sprocket alignment checked - OK
• Limit switches checked - OK
• Emergency close mechanism cable checked - OK

Mini-Storage:

• Chain inspected - OK
• Set screw checked - OK
• Gearbox inspected - OK (need inventory/spare in stock)
• Roller wheels checked - OK

 An inspection was performed on drive systems for the main storage vault by Dan McDonald, Travis Cave and Nadia Jorgenson. The functionality was not tested. Some areas for improvement noted, but otherwise nothing concerning was discovered. 

Notes:

• The wire insulation to the motor is showing wear and tear. Should be replaced in the future. For now was patched with electrical tape, see picture. May be beneficial to add an e-chain for the portion of the wiring that moves when door is opening and closing

• Emergency close mechanism cable should be changed to have a 5/32” Nico Sleeve

• Moving parts still need to be lubricated

• Chain inspected (OK)

• Gearbox inspected - OK

• All drive system set screws checked and tightened

• Sprocket alignment checked - OK

• Limit switches checked - OK

• Emergency close mechanism cable checked - OK

 Roughing started at 12:06. It was believed there was a problem with the compressed air but there was none, TM1 doesn't leak and so you cannot hear that the connection is made.

 Roughing stopped as the module and cover requires modifications that require the vacuum to be opened.

TCS MP1 is started to rough out TM4 and TCS. TCS and TM4 will be under roughing only today and tomorrow. No plan to start TCS and TM4 turbo pumps this time.
