The broken tape on the west side hot cell manipulator was found to be one of two "Z motion slave tapes". The manipulator can still function normally with only one, however the remaining tape will see twice the load as usual. It was decided that repair of the manipulator may be delayed until after the T1-MK2 target repair job is complete. Lifting of heavy objects using the west side manipulator will be avoided until after the broken tape is replaced. |
