Yano, Simon

In order to repair the damaged QPD-stage for the length-sensing OpLev of the beam-splitter setup (see 8417), I brought two (spare) translator-stages (1 x-translator and 1 z-translator) from our stock to VIS type-B team. Fortunately for us, we still had those! However, at the same time, these were the last ones. So if something similar happens to the other QPD-stages, we would have to order the parts. Please be careful!

In the attached photos, you can see some of the damage. It seems that the micrometer bracket took most of the damage in both cases, whereas the x-translator bracket is even broken a little while the z-translator is "just" bended. Actually, we still could move each of the translators itself. So, the ball-bearing is probably okay and we could get both stages repaired maybe.
Both stages are now stored in the AOS-shelf at IMC.
