Schedule/Planning

SAD begins Sep 21
Draft schedule (finalize next week) media:200826_AIPINJ_Schedule.xlsx

Region 1

From John M. on BPMs - One wire on 2 of 3 BPM's was misaligned. Mapping continues. Can we schedule assembly of BPM1-2 next week?
Gun/Y flanges due in 2 weeks.
BPM #1, #3 re-worked for antenna
BPM #1, #2 can be worked
Danny has metric hardware for the valve

Region 2

Few days for the assembly of the Y-chamber getters, and flanges
Same pedestals, no modifications expected
Want to have a look on Sep 21

From Joe M. on DR - The latest is they wound the first coil and found it exceeded the top of the journal so they needed a week to back it out and re-wind it. That was last week. I got Jami involved with the communication so I will follow-up with her to get an updated delivery date.

Region 3

Lakshmi has grown coil size transversely not longitudinally, making 100 G (great!)
Both pedestals get replaced
Pedestals need to be fabricated
Shaun has source for girder material
From Danny, one buncher is in shop for 2nd trimming. shop will do an intermediate trim on one body and mark wissman and haipeng will both test and see if they can agree on readings and amount to trim for next test.
BUncher on track
From Danny, wien filter: keith modeling for one piece electrode. chris gould will map contour. evidently, CMM is too backed up.

Region 4

Region 4 pedestals/and girder
From Danny, additional MFX mounting fixtures ordered.
From Danny, MHD purchase req. signed off and assigned to albert dechrisopher yesterday at 1pm. it's a priority one so he should award soon.
From Danny, revised MHD magnet collar to suit lakshmi's comments, waiting for approval to be able to order.
From Danny, marked and gave 4.5" cubes to shop for drilling of tooling ball holes and welding of manipulator tube.
From Danny, A1/A2 cube spool pieces drawings signed off. two of three quotes in, almost ready to order.
Order collars, Marcy on short bolts

From Danny

sorted through all my deliveries, gave some stuff to phil and marcy.
songsheet sent to joe for comments.

submitted order to the machine shop for modifying A1 and A2 cubes.

Meeting August 6

Magnets

Solenoids

First solenoid in TL 1137. The magnet map starts with the side away from the water lines. The first lead is labelled 1. Phil has confirmed orientation and drawing for rotatable and non-rotatable flanges.
Second solenoid in magnet lab for mapping, finishing installing on v-blocks, mapping to start soon
The next solenoids are in process, hope to see third solenoid next week?

15 deg Dipole magnet update: Mike B. They have worked on a dummy coil, first production coil has been started.

Aperture correctors: drawing done, Danny has out to the usual suspects for quote process.

 *Boltup on top of cubes will require welding a fixture to the cube since there is no room for bolts adjacent to the aperture manipulators and magnets. 
 *Cubes also need machining for survey tooling balls
 *Add labels – engraved or punched – to the cubes indicating orientation
 *Danny working on print

From Lakshmi:

 *MHD integrated field homogeneity is 99.91 % at 2 mm radius
 *The structural evaluation of the MHD coil assembly is in progress; expected to have the results this evening.

Vacuum hardware

Y chamber girder

 *Bottom flange on track to arrive next week
 *garages for laser and y chamber viewers are ready to bend at the right length and tack weld

Things ordered

 *NEG pumps for apertures just sent order ing
 *NEG pumps and supplies for wien filters and laser chamber have arrived
 *vertical flipper spool has been ordered
 *Adapter spools for aperture cubes still being finalized.

Buncher has been brazed, see detail below

Wien filter

 UITF assembled with ceramic bolts and washers to avoid high gradients on bolt head
   Consideration of very mild spring washer in ceramic bolt assembly
   Electrode plate will expand during bake, Ceramic bolt won’t expand,could strip Macor bushing
   Very thin spring washer could be used to protect macor bushing during bakeout from expansion and stripping. 
   Danny and Carlos will continue discussion

Region 1

Region 2

Region 3

Buncher cavity fabrication update

The ports have been brazed in and are leak tight. (three ports on the body, two end tubes) the machine shop removed some tooling that was accidentally brazed to the i.d. of one of the ports and rounded out one of the cavity bodies that had gotten out-of-round due to brazing.  Haipeng has clamped everything together and done his first test and trimming calculation. Haipeng will take both cavities to the shop today and have them bore out the bodies to 1/2 of what the's calculated the trimming to be.

Region 4

Meeting July 30

Region 1

Small shed electrode has been surveyed, back in the lab, needs CO2 jet and store
First round of NEG coating light, so Phil will continue, wrap up next week.

Region 2

Danny says Norcal flange due to ship Aug 10
Phil needs measurement from Shaun for correction insertion, then will get them cut and tacked welded chamber (Phil has 5)
McMaster Carr stand-offs, the oldest one
From Milhous: We wound a “dummy” coil and tweaked the tooling. The first production coil is a couple layers into winding and looks good. We probably need two weeks to finish both coils.

Region 3

Bubba re-assembled the UITF Wien filter w/ ceramic screws an standoffs (instead of metal)
Wien bake 160-175 (Carlos concerned about the bake-out) Carlos concerned about breaking Ceramic (needs spring washer)

Wien fixture design completed, Danny starting to send for bids (to get 3)
Danny thinks buncher jobs are moving OK w/o additional meeting for it
Drawings for pedestals needs to be completed, but will happen after A1
Last week Scott Williams brazed one part OK, another part came out of round and a tool part stuck, machine shopped fixed found
Haipeng has one cavity, will start testing, then take to machine shop for machining
Danny is asking Haipeng to double-check the numbers

Region 4

Lakshmi presented new HD coil design, will use MWS 14 AWG copper wire, has 50% overhead (design ~2A, operate to ~3A), quantifying next order six-pole within r=2mm, can use 3A or 10A card, will need a clamp shell for the heat treatment of 200-250 C.
Joe G. will contact Sarin about trim card, up to 3.4 A, copy Lakshmi
Gary almost done w/ detail of HD bobbin, will then send to Lakshmi for mechanical analysis
Shaun and Gary are finishing the A1/A2 design, and spoke to Chris Gould about tooling ball location

Last Week's Talking Points - May 21

Modeling

Solenoid

Progress!

First coat of green paint on "core"

Y/Laser chamber viewers

Design status

Wien Filter

From Mike Beck - The 6 new "Wien" coils meet dimensional check acceptance criteria and counted turn count all as required at 2 layers x 13 turns per. Will put spread sheet with dimensional data together in coming days. Also, checked resistance on all 6, the range was consistent at ~.2 ohms. The visual quality of coils that Technicoil provided are nice in appearance.  Will conduct hipot testing when able to get back onsite and confirm the rest of QA acceptance testing, fit to core (when core arrives), and mapping required.

Wien coils in crate at MMF
