IFR mechanics status of the detector & tooling development LNF 21/03/2012 V. Carassiti - INFN FE
Outline Detector Tooling Status of the design Status of the development LNF 21/03/2012 V. Carassiti - INFN FE
Status of the detector design The development of the design is in a good advanced status : Scintillators, fibers and PM are inside a dark box The fibers coming from the scintillators are connected to the PM ; the PM wires are collected in a bunch coming out from the box The longitudinal scintillators are 50 mm in width and 10 mm thick ; the transversal ones are 100 mm in width and 10 mm thick LNF 21/03/2012 V.

Status of the tooling development The tooling development regards (up to now): Machine making the grooves housing the fibers Machine dispensing the resin fixing the fibers Other needs A production plan is needed (space, timing, labor, …..) LNF 21/03/2012 V. Carassiti - INFN FE
Machine making the grooves The machine consist of : A plane supporting the scintillator An head equipped with a cutting disk making the linear groove Two heads equipped with a cylindrical milling cutter making the junctions for the exit in place of the fibers The machining time is approximately 8 min each scintillator corresponding to 3,5 weeks/1000 scinti (40 h/week) LNF 21/03/2012 V.
