IM1 & IM3 Mechanical Alignment

Cheryl, Ed

Ed - IM3 - After re-centering the mounting plates for the leaf springs to better center the wires in their spaces, I was able to recover a good portion of the YAW alignment as it was after I zeroed the sliders. Pitch requires the removal of the baffle which was not done at this time. Images below show values before any work was done and then what I finished the day with. More aggressive physical positioning may be required to recover best alignment.

IO work, 4 Dec 2017:

IM1 - bias relief and viton pads installed

  • removal of the baffle altered the IM1 tower enough that pitch and yaw changed by up to 50urad
  • bias relief in pitch was difficult as usual
  • for bias relief in yaw I used more than one strategy, in that I moved the plates that hold the blade spring and it's mount, and also adjusted yaw using the blade spring adjustments screws, which proved to live up to a comment made during installation in 2012 - they're touchy
  • reinstalling the IM1 baffle revealed two new pieces of information
    • the flat washer-type viton is going to be the best option for installing between the SiC baffle and the IM towers
    • in the case of IM1, there's a baffle that sits very close to the optic, and I had to remove that baffle in order to install the viton on IM1
    • the interference was the nut on the 1/4-20 bolt, and not the baffle itself, so I'll be altering the bolt/nut installation in order to reinstall the baffle

IM3 - work continues 

  • the wires suspending the optic were only 1/4 of the slot width away from the front side of the slot, irrespective of any bias I put on the optic
  • Ed's alog indicates he was able to adjust that placement to better center the wires
  • still to do: baffle removal and adjustments to pitch and viton/baffle install

DAY Operator Summary

LVEA is Laser SAFE

BS suspension tripped its watchdog today, but this optic was locked down last Thur by Travis and will stay locked until after the First Contact is removed right before buttoning up.  So this will be red on the CDS Overview.  Similarly, SR2 was locked down recently, but it was still "Damped".  I tripped it for Fil's Sat Amp Ground Check and then re-damped it...this is when Travis told me it was locked.  Anyway, Guardian took it from a Tripped state to a Damped state (eventhough it was locked).

I think that at some stage, someone should tie up this information with https://dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-E1700321 and https://dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-E1700341 for overall documentation.

TCS Table Enclosures Cabling

The CO2 Corner Breakout units - D1201062 inside the TCS enclosures were powered up. Breakout units provide power to the aiming lasers needed for alignment. Cabling for the AOM and CO2 laser were not connected. Many of the panel feedthrough jack screws were either tighted or replaced.

Other work done on the table:

FRS 4507
WP7222

The AOM drivers on TCSX and TCSY enclosures were pulled for modifications. AOM monitor board D150404 to be added for remote monitoring.

Dust Monitor Checks
   DM#30 (BSC3) stopped communicating late Friday afternoon. It was reset this morning. Now all dust monitors are working.

   Posted below are the 7 day trends for the LVEA. There were several high spikes in the HAM5 area. I've requested the cle3aning crew give this area an extra treatment. No other monitors showed items for concern.

VPW Desiccant cabinet relative humidity readouts for the last month
Attached are the VPW desiccant plots with this month's added data.  Since the last data dump back in October of these sensors.  The batteries ended their year+ cycle and quit taking data.  This was discovered a few weeks ago.  Which is why each sensor entry only has a few days of data.  The sensor batteries were replaced and will continue to take data as normal.

Monday 9am Meeting

Notes from the 9am Monday Meeting

Early Week Stuff:

Laser Safety:

Acceptable lasers:  Jason's alignment laser (was measured & approved by Peter)

CO2 TCS Lasers:  Couldn't power them on to check them last Fri. (power cables probably disconnected when tables moved.)  Lasers have class-II sticker (which is eye-safe), but Peter wants to measure them.  So not acceptable until tested by Peter King.

HAM5:  Few items left for Betsy, Gerardo, Hugh.  Goal to close this week!

HAM2:  IM Baffle Viton Install (Cheryl)

Audit baffle alignment list  & note it.(TJ & Betsy)

First Contact work:  H4, H5, B1

B&K:  H5, H2, B2 (Kissel)

H6 class-a feedthru fix (Hugh)

Contamination Control Note:  vert & horiz wafers needed for HAMs

Satellite Amp Ground checks:  H3, H4, H2, H5, B1, B2, B3

Later in week:

Doors for B1, H4, H5, H6

VAC:  H4 Cleanroom should be moved after doors on, for a NEG pump install

Tues Maintenance:

Squeezer:  On hold due to laser, maybe have some cables

Monthly PSL Chiller Filter Checks (FAMIS #8303)
   Visual filter inspection shows no debris or discoloration in the Diode chiller filter. The Crystal filter has a few black plastic bits, that look like thread shavings from the black plastic fitting in the new manifold. This is normal and shows the filter is doing it's job. There is no discoloration in the Crystal chiller filter. 

   I added 200ml to the Crystal chiller. The Diode chiller water level appears OK.

HWS paths checked in red last week, late entry

Earlier last week when we were using the red eye safe alignment laser to align the elliptical baffles in BSC2, I also checked and tweaked the HWS paths on HAM4.  Reasons for doing this were that

1) I moved the 4" HWSX steering mirror a few weeks ago in order to install the scraper baffle and slide the SRM cage back 5mm

2) We bumped a 2" steering mirror on the HWSY path (the one most central to the table)

Indeed, we found both paths slightly misaligned - both beams made it through the last lens out the VPs, but were off center.  I tweaked only the mirrors above, knowing that those were the ones with issues.

I verified that the beam is well centered into the HWSX scraper baffle which was upgraded a few weeks ago.  I also did a quick check that the beam is ~well centered going through the HWSY scraper baffle.

I made Aidan aware that I was doing this.

Notes For Monday Morning

Dust Monitor 30:  BSC3

While going through Ops Checksheet, and running the dust monitor check, noticed the BSC3 dust monitor froze at around 2:20pmPST on Fri (12/1).  I notified Bartlett (he was already aware) and he is going to need to toggle the RESET button on the dust monitor.

I am probably culpable for the issue with this dust monitor because I ran a START/STOP on it before going in-chamber friday afternoon (it had looked frozen at the time).

ITMx ISI Tripped

Jim had it untripped Fri for a transfer function & will take care of it this morning

WHAM5 ISI Table masses positioned & crunched CPS cable

Positioned the [D090]1075 10kg masses on the table top per D1001139 with one small adjustment to clear the ROC heater base dog clamp.  Things might change anyway when we balance so I'll keep the 'as-built' on-going.  Otherwise, they are all in position and bolted down EXCEPT three top masses that are on viton.  If you don't see the four big shiny Ag plated 3/8 SHCS heads, be careful using it as a brace.  The three viton'd masses are the most central in the table and the most -Y and -X.  There are only six stacks on the table so just be careful.

On another note, I found a CPS cable that looks like it was stoutly stepped on evidenced by the copper shielding.  See attached photo of the V1 cable down on Stage0.  Again, be careful where you step; as you know, there are a lot of cables.  I'll check the signal on this sensor and report on its condition.

Looking at the trends of the WHAM5 ISI CPS sensors, there does not appear to be any damage to the V1 sensor.  It looks like all the other sensors on the platform (see attached) and most other HAMs as well.  The shift evident on these local sensor is from the change in payload I did Friday, yes, even though the platform is locked.
