The purpose of this
technical peer review was to review the design of the NCSX modular coil
assembly fixture. The charge given to the committee was:
1. Has the feasibility
of a possible fixture design been demonstrated kinematically, i.e., can a
workable fixture be designed? 2. Are the design requirements sufficiently
detailed to allow a vendor to build a suitable fixture? (Including:
Definition of required motion, Mod coil handling point/load/cg definition,
Seismic requirements, Safety requirements) 3. Is there an adequate list of
vendors?
Tom Brown presented the
status of the design, reviewed the purpose of the fixture and the planned
path of the parts during assembly as well as the expected clearances between
parts. The desired clearances for workmen and test cell assembly were also
reviewed. Stresses in the gantry and support frame were presented.
Eighteen (18) chits were
generated and dispositioned at the review.
With regard to the
charge, item 1, the feasibility of the design has been demonstrated using
ProE modeling software. The space around the work area appears to be
adequate to permit a workable solution for the fixture and work needs. Item
2 of the charge was not addressed in enough detail to determine if
requirements are adequate, and chits were written to address this area in
more detail. A subsequent review of the requirements should be held to
clarify, all of the requirements as well as the user interface and the
prescribed path of the moving parts.
A list of five vendors
was presented as the proposed bidders list, which should be adequate for
this work.
This review was
considered to be acceptable pending the resolution of the chits. |
