EIC-UK WP1 Mechanics meeting

Europe/London
    • 1
      General discussion
      Speakers: Adam Huddart (Science and Technology Facilities Council), Che Sum Tse (University of Birmingham UK), Georg Viehhauser (member@ox.ac.uk;staff@ox.ac.uk), James Julian Glover (University of Birmingham (UK))
      • a) FIB designs

        Adam showed an alteration to the L4 FIB during his talk @Oxford. Points for discussion:

        • Feasibility of the angled MTP connector (what angles might be achieved with the length of the fibres).
        • Mounting strength and options of the MTP connector clamp.
        • Design options that can be transferred to the L3 and disk variants.
        Speakers: Adam Huddart (Science and Technology Facilities Council), James Julian Glover (University of Birmingham (UK))

        Points for note:

        • VTRx+ fibre pigtail bend radius ≥ 15 mm.
        • 55 mm VTRx+means a nominal fibre length of 27.41 mm (±2 mm)
          • 25.4 mm minimum fibre length.
        • Theoretical maximum angle = 97.0° (ArcLength × 360 / [CurveDiam × π]).
          • Radius of 16.17014 mm would give a 90° bend.
          • Radius of 32.3403 mm would give a 45° bend.
