1. Stave loading with Si-heaters at UniGe with jigs v-1 August 2011 Maarten, Coralie, Franck, Didier

2. 2 Work Preparation for the Loading Activities - Jigs Handling frame inside the cradle Grease mask added 1 st Si-heater or digital module 2 nd added with 200µm gap Half stave loaded Wing handling to free the loading space Wing glue + adhesive hold in an envelope defined by the jig

4. Few comments about jigs v-1 The adjustable feet (4 micrometric screws) are there to allow an average co-planarity between cradle blocks and the face plate. Warning: It can easily induce stress to stave! 1 st Si-heater will have to be glued with fast Araldite to give reference for the neighboring modules Loading cradle is only compatible for Al-handling frame It allows to load heaters and digital modules The wing retract mechanism does not exist yet and need to be made for stave-1 The wing gluing has also to be investigated – To be worked out

5. Cabling Equipment for Thermal Tests Two Ag-silicon junction done thanks to electrical conductive glue and Cu-strips 1.5 mm2 wire section used to allow powering individual modules Thin cables and split in 4 wires for the PT100 readout NB: -The stiffness of the services was found not very compatible with the weakness and fragility of the loaded modules - A Stress relief bar was designed and machined (thanks to Maarten & Gaby) to maintain all the cables above (49 in total leaving the stave) - The handling frame v-1 (5x5 cm2 of CFRP) was made to hold the stave and Al-plate extenders were added for the pipe stress relieve - An asymmetric cover was designed to protect the stave Warning: This cabling is not compatible for the thermal mock-up!
