*Danny/Gabriel/Carlos will iterate on final design : minimize gap over triple point, optimize ceramic/metal gap curvature
+

Gabriel assess shed radius suggested by Danny, now => model 2.5 (w/ cross view) [[media:170328_Gabriel.pdf]]
  Finalize ME design [[media:JL0045108---dwg1.pdf]]
+
* S&A insulator measurements
*Build electrode/shed from one piece of material 8" cube, not enough Nb, go w/ SSMatt will check on 316LN vacuum melt, but let's still check what shop used for 350kV ball electrodes, maybe save time and money
+
  From Danny: S&A has given me the data in two batches. the first [[media:DT_L1782-1.pdf]] has to do with most of the dimensions, the second the contour  of the ceramic. i've looked at the first batch, but not the second yet. here's what i  think so far. hopefully, i'll look at the other data this afternoon. '''In summary, it's all acceptable.'''
  From Carlos: I stopped by the machine shop and Casey confirms that they have in stock 316L (low Carbon) for the electrodes. I showed him the picture of the GTS/UITF shed and he says the material is not hard to come buy, not sure if it comes form same vendor but material should have very similar properties. This is what he replied: The following message was sent to: Carlos Hernandez-Garcia from the staff search pageI have 316L for your projects.

*Reuse springs/rollers/cage, but new rear support ring optimized for electrode

a) both black ceramics are very close to being identical.

b) both ceramics are all within tolerance of the model and drawings.
qty 6 roller pins. [[media:ACC2003000-0317.pdf]]
+
  c) the ceramic keyway is not perpendicular to the flange leak check groove as it should be, but it will still work. the leak check grooves in the chamber flange  will not align with the leak check grooves on the ceramic flange. the keyway on the  ceramic is off .6 degrees. fortunately the slots in the flange allow for +/- 1  degree rotation, but we used up some misalignment allowance that we didn't need to.
qty 1 key [[media:ACC2003000-0315.pdf]]

d) the concentricity and perpendicularity of the end of the ceramic to the flange is within .006" and .2 degrees.

g) the data shows the 1.00" diameter end of the ceramic is too large by .001"-002". if so, it may not fit into the electrode. i went and measured it with some  micrometers and believe it to be within tolerance.
 +
h) i'm not sure of the importance of the location of the triple point. it measures .006" high and .003" bigger radially. if i remember from previous discussions, that was not a big deal. can someone confirm that?

*Plan A

* Retain leak valve, add right angle valve through first bake, at least
Use as-is, but identify/repair short of NEG isolation, retain leak valve but add right angle for isolation. Do we forego NEG isolation and remove unnecessary ceramic plates (fallen to bottom of chamber)

* Retain electrical isolation and NEG activation at 100C
* Plan B

* Pick up ceramics, blow out NEG
Rotate NEG's => remove NEG's, weld support rods, NEG coat chamber, return X number of NEGs, new ground screen, retain leak valve w/ right angle valve

=== Eliminating Gun Switch Software ===
  Hello Joe,  I'm coordinating with Scott to rewrite the gun switch software for one gun operations. Looks like we are going to gut most of additional gun code simplifying the solution we currently have. For the front end, I  wanted to meet with you to get an idea of what things you're looking for on the screen. I'll be on shift next week Monday - Wednesday from 2-10 to support the injector work. Hopefully we can talk then.  Best Kyle.

Electrode/insulator design/fabrication

  • Assess fields to vacuum chamber, modified shed radius
Gabriel assess shed radius suggested by Danny, now => model 2.5 (w/ cross view) media:170328_Gabriel.pdf
  • S&A insulator measurements
From Danny: S&A has given me the data in two batches. the first media:DT_L1782-1.pdf has to do with most of the dimensions, the second the contour  of the ceramic. i've looked at the first batch, but not the second yet. here's what i  think so far. hopefully, i'll look at the other data this afternoon. In summary, it's all acceptable.
.
a) both black ceramics are very close to being identical.
b) both ceramics are all within tolerance of the model and drawings.
c) the ceramic keyway is not perpendicular to the flange leak check groove as it should be, but it will still work. the leak check grooves in the chamber flange  will not align with the leak check grooves on the ceramic flange. the keyway on the  ceramic is off .6 degrees. fortunately the slots in the flange allow for +/- 1  degree rotation, but we used up some misalignment allowance that we didn't need to.
