Scott Hamilton Bill Randolph University of Hawaii at Manoa W. M. Keck Observatory
3D Mechanical Design & 3D CAD (Computer Aided Design) Software
Documentation • Keck II • Hydrostatic Bearing Support System • Yoke (Left Structure) • Keck I • Stand-off Weldment (Access Ladder)
Documentation & Organization • Converting from 2D AutoCad to 3D Solid Works • A current configuration of the telescope • Parametric Model • Effective way of recording updates • Efficient system from a business standpoint
Hydrostatic Shoe Bearings • Supports the axial elevation bearing • Allows the axial elevation bearing to move on frictionless surface • Injects a thin layer of oil between the pad and the journal. • Oil Tray • Collects & recycles oil
Main telescope support • Left Platform • AO Enclosure • Work Points • Structurally important origin
Purpose • Safe & efficient access to vertical cable trays • Enable MOSFIRE & K1LGS CCR plumbing installation • Enable K1LGS glycol plumbing installation • Converting 3d models to technical drawings • Meeting specifications for fabrications
Bill Randolph • Kyle Kinoshita • Randy Mogensen • Keck’s Mechanical Engineering Group • CfAO & The Akamai Internship program • The Akamai Internship Program is funded by the Center for Adaptive Optics through its National Science Foundation Science and Technology Center grant (#AST-987683)
