*LESKER reduced 4-way cross (C-0800-275, $890) found as a candidate for vacuum chamber
 
*LESKER reduced 4-way cross drawing downloaded and incorporated into SolidWorks (assembly file Lesker_C-800_275\C-0800-275_reassembled)
 
*LESKER reduced 4-way cross redesigned to match our x-pinch driver (drawing file Lesker_C-800_275\LESKER_C-0800-275_REASSEMBLED)
 
 
 
12/20/13
 
*Some changes to parts have been done to accommodate LESKER redesigned cross:
 
**1) for Al output plate, the inner cut increased from 4.5 diameter to 10" diameter to match the cross (drawing #2013.1.001.0008);
 
**2) for anode can, the slot size increased from 0.4" to 0.5" to march x-pinch wires length  (drawing #2013.1.001.0014);
 
*Reassembled LESCER cross drawing submitted to Spielman for approving (drawing LESKER C-0800-275_REASSEMBLED)
 
*X-pinch driver assembly drawing with included cathode/anode/cross submitted to Spielman for approving (drawing #2013.1.001.0021)
 
*LESCER cross and new assembly drawings is approved by Spielman:

*For 4-way reducing cross, LESKER part #C-0800-275, we need:
 
**Flanges:
 
***2 3/4" fixed blank CF flange, LESKER part#F0275X000N, $15;
 
***2 3/4" fixed bore 1.63" CF flange, LESKER part#F0275X175N, $15;
 
***8" fixed blank CF flange, LESKER part#F0800X000N, $125;
 
**Gaskets:
 
***1/4 Hard OFHC Copper Gasket for 2-3/4" CF flange, LESKER part #GA-0275, set of 10, $26.40;
 
***1/4 Hard OFHC Copper Gasket for 8" CF flange, LESKER part #GA-0800, set of 10, $75.00 (buy 2 sets);
 
**Fasteners:
 
***1/4"—28 x 7/8" Reducer Bolt Set, LESKER part #HBK25028088, set of 25, $15;
 
***5/16"—24 x 2-1/4" Reducer Bolt Set, LESKER part #HBS31224225, set of 25, $37.58;
 
**Total budget: $383.98
 
 
 
To Do List:
 
*order cross on Monday, RACL60;
 
*include all taped holes in drawing;
 
*identify/buy all needed flanges/gaskets for the cross;
 
*do we need to use Cu gasket to seal CF flange? If so, we need a lot of them for every shot.(A: yes, we need to use Cu gaskets);
 
*o-ring in PMMA ~3 mm. Locate position and include in drawing. (Done)
 
*Include groove for two o-rings into the isolating output PMMA drawing, #2013.1.001.0018
 
*Can we use cross instead of cube? (A: Cross - not, but reduced cross - yes)
 
*Fabricate anode/cathode/vacuum_chamber parts (drawings #2013.1.001.0010-0021)
