Vacuum chamber Disassembly |
|
|
| [Luke, Aiden, Jon, Michel, Tyler]
Work done:
On Tuesday (5/28) we removed the RGA line with minimal difficulty. On Wednesday (5/29) we removed the turbo pump, which had a few bolts that we needed to cut. We borrowed a dremel with ceramic blades from the machine shop to help remove some of the bolts. On Thursday we moved the vacuum chamber onto the floor to check and resecure the heating band on the bottom of the vacuum chamber. We then relocated the posts the vacuum chamber rests on closer to the end of the table and reinstalled the chamber. The post’s height was also reduced from 2in to 1in.
Current state of vacuum chamber:
The vacuum chamber is currently reinstalled in its new position. Some of the parts on the table will be used in the assembly of the turbo pump and RGA lines with the others being able to be moved to storage. |
