Freed up the TMS and balanced it.
It turned out that the height of the TMS was spot-on, but about 7mm off horizontally. What is the cookie cutter for, again?
Anyway, we pinned one corner of the cube, installed four temporary dog clamps with teflon tips, undid the real dogs until everything is loose, and used a pusher to tilt it.
After this adjustment, it was off by about 1mm in yaw, and still spot-on in pitch. We called it good.
Next, injecting the red visible laser beam from the total station, we can see that the angle is still far off in yaw (but pitch is OK).
We'll continue the angle adjustment today.
This is BTW a very slow, frustrating business.
We need to free the TMS suspension and uncover the ETM and ERM when initial aligners look at the alignment, then we need to cover the ETM and ERM and use EQ stops for the TMS, then squeeze ourselves into an extremely tight space between the stage zero and the cube, push the cube, and repeat.
We need a super strong helper or two whose shoulder is as narrow as 12 inches, chest as thin as 8 inches, 6 feet or taller, long but bendable arms. Anybody volunteering?
