Optimizing Stave Assembly: Enhancements and New Jig Design Discussions

The current tooling for the stave assembly jig, including the CF jig and ‘C’-channel jig, has shown promising results in producing flat staves. As we approach the target of manufacturing 130nm stave cores by the end of 2013, it's essential to identify necessary changes. This includes reviewing geometries, exploring cosmetic and functional improvements, and assessing material durability for long-term use. A mini-review meeting in Oxford is proposed for late June or early July to discuss jig requirements, design revisions, and a timeline for parts manufacturing and assembly to expedite production.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Stave130 Assembly Jig (Tim)

  2. Current Tooling • Components • CF jig + ‘C’-channel jig & various face-sheet positioning aids • It works! • Seems to produce nice flat staves • What needs to change? • Geometry: 13 modules, width, thickness • Are there any cosmetic/functional improvements? • One of the steel feet fell off! • Segment the vacuum channels? • Large number of internal ‘inserts’ of several different types • Think about materials for long-term use

  3. New Jig(s) • Expect to be manufacturing 130nm stave cores by the end of 2013. • Procedures probably same as previously so ‘new’ jig should be capable of manufacturing staves more-or-less immediately • Proposed programme • Review design of CF jig and ‘C’-channel jig • Identify components (eg inserts, edge close-outs, facesheets?) which could remain the same (i.e. drawings exist) and manufacture could start now. • Identify components needing design revision & what input is needed to do so; • Eg ‘C’-channel jig needs stave width, ‘C’-channel jig fixes hole positions in CF jig. • Suggest ‘mini-review’ at Oxford sometime late June/early July to discuss Jig requirements. • TJJ, JLC, GV, SY + (IW…. ?) • Jig Schedule • Parts manufacture from now to end August • Stave Jig assembly from September (last one took 3 months – expect this one to be quicker!) • Assembly trials from mid-October
