1 NOvA Module End Caps & Manifolds 1.Threading: Time & Motion Studies 2.Attaching Manifolds to Scalloped Extrusions 3.Avoiding 2 Styles of Extrusions Tom Chase, UMN 8/27/2005

2 Vacuum Puck 10 sec: Attach fiber to puck 10 sec: Pull puck down extrusion 10 sec: Detach puck from fiber Pull fiber down a 16 m extrusion cell using a vacuum

3 Fiber Threading Time & Motion Changes on connector since May 2005: Dual holes changed to slots (design intent) Holes were beveled at the back 1- Undergrad Student; 1 Grad Student 1 hour training Threading Technicians:

4 T&M: Lessons Learned Table height is ergonomically awful Bottom fiber raceway is installed too low Handedness is backwards

5 T&M: Results We met our 30 min goal; expect substantial improvement! Undergrad: 29 min Grad: 25 min

6 Manifold Scallop Adapter Straight slots for extruded parts Integral fiber fingers

7 Sealing Scallops Caution! Glue slots must have 2 mm “slop”!

8 Reinforcing Vertical End Extrusions Reinforcing extrusion Adhesive bond Standard extrusion Attach to bottom 8 m

9 Summary Vacuum puck works well for stringing fibers 30 min threading time achieved; further improvement expected “Scallop adapter” enables using extruded manifold parts on scalloped extrusions (extrusion tolerances are an issue) We suggest using only one style of extrusion

10 Manifold Concept

11 Manifold Overflow Tank
