The LBT672 system and safety mechanism test (Phase I) FLAO system external review, Florence, 30/31 March Spider-arm cabinet M2 unit in Hub Three levels of safety protection –Hardware level Hardware over-current protection TSS functionality (0.25N/act -> 80km/h wind) –Firmware level Check of modal commands, actuator position commands or force commands (skip command frame in case too large) Check of capacitive sensor reading (reset shell in case reading > 120  m) –High-level software High temperature trapping (power switch-off) Dew/freeze-point (power switch-off) Broken communication line (self-power-off in case of broken communication with remote switch, shell reset in all the other cases)

Phase II – EM performance evaluation Actuator position sensor noise: –Base spec: <10nm 70kHZ (  1.2nm 1 kHz) –Goal spec: <3nm 70kHz (=P45) FLAO system external review, Florence, 30/31 March Noise Pattern Noise as a function of local gap in different elevation angles All acts in spec 93% of acts match goal

Phase II – EM performance evaluation Turbulence tracking error (0.65as seeing, v wind =20m/s): –Base spec: <50nm (<delay error w 1.5ms) –Goal spec: <28nm (≈0.5*delay error w 1.5ms) –Peak force: < 0.8N (=80% of max force; 20% is allocated for flattening) FLAO system external review, Florence, 30/31 March Base spec with 360 modes Goal spec with 600 modes Residual WFE as function of used modes Peak force as function of used modes

Phase II – EM performance evaluation Actuator position sensor stability with temperature FLAO system external review, Florence, 30/31 March Temperature of cooling fluid as function of time Ave force per ring of acts to keep the position on command Requirement to temperature stability of telescope cooling: Ripples < 0.2°C/min 1g=0.07N

Phase II – EM performance evaluation Chopping performance: –From LBTI requests: Chop throw: ±2.5 on-sky arcsec with AO capabilities both beams Accuracy of throw: 0.1 on-sky arcsec Settling time to 95% of step command: 15ms Direction: elevation FLAO system external review, Florence, 30/31 March Time history of performed tilt (on-sky arcsec) In specification AO step responses with Settling < 1.5ms Ex. modal step response for AO operation Chopping steps, beam A and B

Phase III - Handling test and Hub- integrated performance verification FLAO system external review, Florence, 30/31 March

Phase IV – Mirror flattening performance Shell figuring qualification: –Residual flattening with peak force<0.2N ( 20% of max force ) Base spec: <65nm rms WFE (≈fitting error at 0.65as seeing) Goal spec: <30nm rms WFE (<1/2 fitting error at 0.65as seeing) FLAO system external review, Florence, 30/31 March Goal specification matched: WFE 25nm rms with <0.2N peak force

Phase IV – Mirror flattening stability Flattening command stability with time and temp –F0, F1, F2 flattening commands calibrated using optical feedback (interferom.)at T 0 =T amb, T 1 =T 0 -10°C, T 2 =T 0 -20°C –Application of flattening command without optical feedback (supposing no AO, nor active optics): Base specification: <200nm rms (=1/3 of atmospheric turbulence WFE with serendipity seeing: 0.23 arcsec, L 0 =20m) Goal specification: <100nm rms FLAO system external review, Florence, 30/31 March IN PROGRESS: preliminary results in specification (<150nm rms)

Questions on FLAO_02 Q: “Inspection of TS#3 magnets gluing”; what are the possible outcome of this test? What is to be checked? A: The check is performed in Arcetri after the EM acceptance test in MG-ADS and the transport of shell from MG to Arcetri. The optical side of the shell is not yet coated and it is protected with PreCote film. In Arcetri the protecting film is removed for silver coating and the gluing spots between magnets and glass are visible. We check for glue integrity (no detachment of glue from glass) FLAO system external review, Florence, 30/31 March

Questions on FLAO_02 Q: in which simulated seeing condition is the test of power consumption conducted? A: median seeing: 0.65as with V wind =20m/s FLAO system external review, Florence, 30/31 March
