Comment to Setting the mirror at nominal height (including buoyancy effect in SF). (16571)

See pictures in album PR2 Remedying Work.

In order to have an accurate idea of how much we will need to move the GAS filter keystones up, I measured the height of the mirror under the following conditions:

  • SF keystone locked at nominal height of 65.5 mm from the base plate per the 3D-CAD. I measured is indirectly with respect to another reference with a vernier calliper and then checked the height with a ruler. See this photo. The SF LVDT readout at this position was 1604.4 units (the LVDT doesn't seem to be calibrated properly).
  • The BF keystone at the setpoint per the LVDT. This position is arbitrary becuase the LVDT doesn't seem to be calibrated.
  • Laser level at the vertical centre of the flange.

The mirror was 6.5 mm below the centre of the flange.

Given this large difference I checked the relative position of other components:

  • The RM, with respect to the security structure, is lower than the nominal height by 2.5 mm. The nominal value per the 3D-CAD is 31 mm (see this screenshot) and the measured value is 28.5 mm (see this picture).
  • The security structure, with respect to the center of the flange, is lower than the nominal value by 3 mm. The nominal value per the 3D-CAD is 175 mm (see this screenshot) and the measured value is 178 mm (see this notebook page).

The values above add to 5.5 mm. There is 1 mm missing out of the 6.5 mm. Please note that the laser level line is around  2 mm thick as seen by the bare eye. In pictures the thickness may vary depending on the camera.

For the sake of gathering additional information I measured the height of the SF keystone when the LVDT readout was zero: 0.6 mm below the 65.5 mm level. See this notebook page for details.
