NCSX Field Period Assembly (FPA) Operations, Cost and schedule, staffing, and metrology utilization Mike Viola Field Period Assembly Manager NCSX FPA Peer Review October 11-12, 2006 PPPL

NCSX October 12, 2006NCSX Field Period Assembly Peer Review M. Viola 2 FPA Concerns and Risks Heavy emphasis on Prototyping each activity Crack Work Crew and Support –Our most highly effective and ingenious technicians assigned to perform first time tasks. More time allocated for first time. John Edwards 30 years experience (Master Support Technician), Mike Duco from Lockheed (simulations, manufacturing, coatings vibrations), Ed Bush 20+ Quality Assurance then NB Ion Sources. –Augmented as needed by Cryogenic operators and NB Technicians Learning Curve (Extra time included in schedule) –Perform all tasks first with crack crew – Prove principles to mitigate risk!! And then Finalize Procedures. –Train secondary support crew to perform bulk of work Tooling –Crack Crew perform dry run of tooling Metrology (Mike Duco with Steve Raftopoulos Support) –Leica Laser: ” accuracy –Romer arm: ” accuracy (2 other Romer Arms available)

NCSX October 12, 2006NCSX Field Period Assembly Peer Review M. Viola 3 FPA Metrology Issues Available Equipment in house –Leica Laser: ” accuracy –Romer arm: ” accuracy (2 other Romer Arms available) Reliability –Hardware/Software is ~80% reliable. –Have days of crashing and unpredictable operations. Combination of Windows, Verisurf, MasterCAM, Leica Power Inspect, ROMER… Reach/Accessibility –Coils are easy to reach but need high accuracy –VVSA is hard to reach but localized activities can use lower accuracy equipment. Repeatability –Datums strategically located to provide individual activity support –May need recommendation for datum locations to be used through final machine assembly if datum shift or tolerance buildup is of concern Expert support group being considered within Fabrication Division.

NCSX October 12, 2006NCSX Field Period Assembly Peer Review M. Viola 17 FPA Summary To Conclude –Our best technicians are assigned to these FPA tasks. –Some assembly operations are still somewhat conceptual and will be tested out prior to actual work is performed. –Reasonable time is allocated to perform FPA including proof of principle. Open Issues –I invite the review team to offer their concerns or provide advice. –Some activities are still quite conceptual –Datum transferability and tolerance buildup –Very limited machine serviceability
