<p>The wire seal has been tightend further to 160 Nm. Open neg feed-through flange has also been fully tightend. </p>
<p>The CARME chamber was then slid back onto the aluminium frame on the ring. Two carriages were damaged during the sliding process, which have now been replaced. Carriages were replaced by lifting one end of the upper frame section using the crane by only ~1mm. This was sufficient to slide out the broken carriage and replace it (see images to be uploaded).. It appears there is some deformation in the rails on the temporary frame as CARME is slid across, which resulted in the damaged carriages -> further refinements are required for future slidings. The height of the chamber has been checked using the laser allignment. </p>
<p>The turbo pump has also been mounted to the top of the chamber . Current plan is to close to the interaction chamber tomorrow and begin pumping. </p> |
