12/10/13

  • brick housing (BH) parts (steel/PMMA) drawings approved by Spielman (drawings #2013.1.001.0002-0009)


12/11/13

  • VSM Technologies selected as manufactured company for BH parts (drawings #2013.1.001.0002-0009)


12/17/19

  • BH parts arrived at IAC and inspected. Kevin is going to assemble and weld them all together.


12/18/19

  • Cathode/anode drawings submitted to Spielman for approving (drawings #2013.1.001.0010-0017)
  • PMMA_output/isolating_charging_line drawings submitted to Spielman for approving (drawings #2013.1.001.0018-0019)
  • Assembly drawing with cathode and anode submitted to Spielman for approving (drawing #2013.1.001.0020)


12/19/13

  • LESKER reduced 4-way cross (C-0800-275, $890) found as 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

  • LESKER reduced 4-way cross redesigned (cuts and welds) to match our x-pinch facility (drawing LESKER C-0800-275 REASSEMBLED)
  • The assembly drawing with cathode/anode/cross have been created (drawing #2013.1.001.0010-0021)
    • Some changes to parts have been done to accomodate cross drawing:
      • 1) inner cut increased from 4.5 diameter to 10" diameter to match the cross (drawing #2013.1.001.0010-0008);
      • 2) anode can slot size increase from 0.4" to 0.5" to march x-pinch wires length (drawing #2013.1.001.0014);
  • Drawing LESKER C-0800-275 REASSEMBLED and drawing #2013.1.001.0010-0021 submitted to Spielman for approving
