[Stephen, Shruti, Koji]
We worked on the gluing of the PZT sub-assy (#9 and #10) along with the designed arrangement by Shruti (OMC ELOG 374).
The detailed procedures are described in E1300201 Section 6.2 PZT subassembly and Section 7.3 EP30-2 gluing.
We found that the PZTs, which were debonded from the previous PZT sub assy with acetone, has some copper wires oxidized. However, we confirmed that this does not affect the conductivity of the wires, as expected.
The glue test piece cooked in the toaster oven showed excellent curing. GO SIGNAL
Stephen painted the PZT as shown in Attachment 1.
The fixtures were closed with the retaining plate and confirmed that the optics are not moving in the fixtures.
At this point, we checked the situation of the air-bake oven. And we realized that the oven controller was moved to another vacuum oven and in use with a different setting.
Stephen is going to retrieve the controller to the air bake oven and test the temp profile overnight. Once we confirm the setting is correct, the PZT sub assys will be heat cured in the oven. Hopefully, this will happen tomorrow. Until then, the sub-assys are resting on the south flow bench in the cleanroom. |
