Moving Vacuum Chambers into B111B Progress and Future Plan

[Jeff, Ian, Torrey, Sander, JC, Lee, Daniel]

We moved a central vessel and 2 bend cubes from B150 into B111B. The central vessel is on a borrowed furniture dolly and the bend cubes are on a lowered "side table" (not an optical table).

We also lowered and moved a 2nd side table into the mobile clean room to hold and "operate on" the end cubes that are designated for the LFC.

Lastly, we raised the screws on the sled connecting the optical tables and engaged the caster wheels.

 

Jeff and I propose the future steps are as follows with a rough timeline for the rest of the week

Move the optical tables into place 1' North so that the transmitted arm pumpout stations don't hit the wall (Wednesday at 10 AM)

Maybe we move the mobile clean rooms 6" North

Place the central vessel into place (Thursday morning)

Move LFC Cubes onto side table (Thursday afternoon)

Clean B111B, with special attention to the mobile clean rooms

Open the bend cube insides to evaluate whether we need to replace the bottom flange with another flange that can hold optical posts

Replace the end cube bottom flanges with flanges with a 1/4-20 hole pattern and add my custom base plate

Place the end cubes into their LFC final position (or ~0.5" further apart than their final position and we push them together when making the vacuum system)

(Maybe replace the bend cube bottom flanges with flanges with a 1/4-20 hole pattern and) add my custom base plate

Place the bend cubes into position

Move shelf into place

Move equipment supporting optics in B102 like Mokus

Move optics sleds
