Leaf Spring prototype preparation M.Lenti
Reminder Piet’s proposal: two dowels inserted into two mirror holes (vertical alignment); mirror weight as counterbalance Two leaf springs (horizontal alignment); pretensioning in nominal “zero” position Piezo actuators out of particles acceptance 14/07/20102M.Lenti

Carassiti drawings Delivered on june 3 Original (Piet’s) approach: center of horizontal rotation “on” the mirror “inverted” approach: center of horizontal rotation “far” from the mirror Both taken in consideration 14/07/20104M.Lenti

New drawing 14/07/2010M.Lenti12 F.Maletta Can be mounted in with the “original” or “inverted” approach
Prototype situation Aluminium raw material arrived last week (!!!) Executive drawings ready Mechanical worshop in Florence ready for working Hope to have the pieces machined by next week 14/07/201013M.Lenti
Resonances Estimated by Vito Glass: very low, just above 0 Hz Support structure: 1° resonance around 7.5 Hz 14/07/2010M.Lenti14
Conclusions A lot of time lost for material procurement Hope to have some results late in july… 14/07/2010M.Lenti15
