  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
