Meeting January 21, 2021

Air cylinder plan: Danny - items to check on; bellows length, confer w/ SG => need 1.5" travel, has 1.7" stroke, seems okay; air cylinder exhaust adjustment/tool => hex key to adjust

Shaun - items to design/fab

Longer rods (i.e. we will not modify hex shaft length) => Shaun completed layout, Danny will verify dwg, submit shop (10)

7/16 to 3/8 turnbuckle (i.e. we will not modify hex threads), we prefer/want split but can start/try unsplit+lock nut => have (3) 7/16 to 3/8 split, need (7)...Danny/Phil will look over print, fabricate (>7-10)

Piston stops => probably have enough, Shaun will order 10

Spring centering cylinder => submit order to shop for 10

Update drawings => add to list of dwgs to update for documentation

Phil - prep work

Test mock-up, be satisfied plan is sound => satisfied

Prepare for modifying cylinders when new parts are ready => YES!!!!

PSS kicker plan: Coils are ordered, due mid-February; GH will complete a 4-part and 2-part fixture using SS 304 w/ tapped holes as requested; JK will work with Gary to lay out a concept for PSS electrical connections to kicker; DM says priority should be finish model support, then electrical connections but happens soon; LL requested details about diode response time/location, will use when it's available/decided; When Gary is ready to discuss updated model, I'll call another brief meeting.

Lakshmi's update: media:210121_LakshmiUpdate.jpeg

Meeting January 14, 2021

MMF Jobs

DR#1 map done (1/11), DR#2 map should be done (1/12)
H-Wien new field clamps anneal done (1/11), H-Wien on stand Wed (1/13)

Lakshmi's update

Status of the remaining MQW coils

Technicoil will ship coils on 1/12/2021 (Next Tuesday) => should arrive by 1/15

PSS Kicker Magnet

Waiting for the Support cube drawing. The models provided in Nov 2020

Need the drawings in order to finalize the terminal block hold points for the magnet assembly

MQW prototype assembly issues

Looked at the assembly; took additional measurements; discussed preliminary action plan with Joe.G/Marcy and Phil.

Finalize the steps :ongoing. Should be ready soon

Clamp shells for assembly bake-out (preferred)

Was put on hold yesterday ( Phil /Marcy prefers baking without clamp shell)

Back-on the list

Design jobs

From Marcy....

This is the "old existing drawing" media:210108_Existing_AirCylinderModification.pdf

The shaft is now 8.25" or so, there is no nut that moves anymore, and the length sticking out needs to be checked.

From what Phil has described, the retracted position of the piston remains the same. The beveled piece defines the "in" position, and needs to be moved forward to define the stroke length. Then the excess of the hex rod has to be shortened to the right length, and threaded right for the turnbuckle.

Shop jobs

Status of Thomson rods for fc#1 repair: https://misportal.jlab.org/mis/apps/job_request/mshop/view_request.cfm?request_id=329978&code=11

Meeting January 7, 2021

Quick scan from last year's punchlist: media:210106_AIPINJ_2021.docx
