BSS Prep work at CERN and Acceptance of Parts Jack Fowler Duke University Spain Workshop - 2003

Assembly Rig Design and Build Receive frame and rails Assemble and pre align Survey in Bldg 154 Use to QA inner cylinder and 1st space frame

Receiving Assembly Rig Assembly rig was design and procurred from RAL Most of the assembly was received in July at CERN

After a few small problems…

Pre alignment in 154 In Aug and Sept the pre alignment was performed in 154 The rails and center axis did not arrive until late Sept. The pre alignment was completed last week. Survey is occurring this week

Mounting of rails The rails consist of a 3 piece Al angle And a Stainless Steel angle that has been chrome plated. This will be the main contact surface

Summary of Assembly Rig Assembly Rig will be ready in 154 in mid Oct for acceptance tests for IC and 1st space frame After acceptance tests the Assembly rig will be moved to SR 1 and realigned. The assembly rig will be available and ready for final assembly of spool in Dec 2003 in SR 1

Inner Cylinder Receive Cylinder Ready the cylinder for measurement Mfg tooling for measurement Perform QA of Cylinder Apply shielding material

Mounting Flanges A center hub will be machined along with three mounting bars Also threaded holes need to be added around the face of the circumference for the diameter adjustment

Inner Cylinder Status Delivery to Cern late Oct 2003 Tooling for mounting to be complete Oct 15 Hand tooling for some measurements to be complete in Oct Need to schedule CERN survey group as soon as delivery date is known

Space Frames Receive 1st end frame Ready for measurement Mfg tooling for QA Perform QA Apply shielding material Receive 2nd end frame Repeat above

Space Frame Status Delivery of 1st space frame early Nov 2003 Discussions with CERN Survey group completed in June and July Tooling for QA and survey to be completed in Oct CERN survey will be scheduled for mid Nov

Assembly of Spool Receive and Approve IC and Space frames Relocate Rig to SR 1 and align Dry mount on Assembly Rig Alignment Check, Survey and Adjust Fasten IC to Space Frames Connect Faraday Shielding Bond IC to Space Frames

Spool Status Schedule revolves around delivery of 2nd space frame. Currently early Dec 2003 Spool will be ready in SR 1 ~ 6 weeks (holidays?) after delivery of 2nd space frame
