9 Gimbal Mount Pickoff Mirror: AOK-100 Some parts partially transparent AO Spool

10 AO Spool omitted

11 POM Mechanism without Support Structure Mechanism Description: The Pickoff Mirror Support is a 2-Axis Gimbal Mount Mechanism whose axis are at right angles to each other and are co-planar to the front surface of the Mirror. The nominal angle of the POM is 45 degrees to the incoming beam CCW and CW Rotation is limited to about 2 degrees (stops) in both axis Compression Springs are used to preload Gimbal Frames onto Actuator ends (eliminating backlash) Rotation is accomplished remotely using Newport Actuators (blue cylinders) Note: This mechanism is difficult to service while installed inside the AO Spool. Remove everything up to, but not including X-Y Stage. (see next slides) Checklist: a)Do Actuator ends remain in contact with the Gimbal Frames at all times? Will require energizing the Actuators to verify b)Are the Actuators themselves held firmly in place (check screws that hold Actuator Bodies) c)Check Flex Pivots for breakage; check screws that secures Flex Pivots 8x) d)Check Mirror Clips 3x (do they hold the POM firmly in place?)

12 George Mount: AOK-400 X-Y Stage Optics Base Plate: AOK-312 Relevant Screws Qty=4 There are 4x Socket Head Cap Screws (SHCS) used to bolt the Optics Base Plate to the X-Y Stage All of them are accessible by removing the Top Plate Cover AOK-317 (see next slides). Side walls do NOT have to be removed! Note: To access these screws disassembly is NOT required to what is shown in this picture!!

13 Access to 2x SHCS

14 Access to 1x SHCS May need to move motor if not visible

15 Access to 1x SHCS
