Assembly canting fixture operations: Phase 2. Revision 2

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6652796
The assembly canting tool is designed to provide a means of measuring the canted position of each of the twelve mirror assemblies of a reflective assembly. The tool consists of a central support pedestal which interfaces with the reflective assembly's control arm interface. The central support uses production type control arms and a representative mass stiffness of the pedestal/drive mechanism of a heliostat. Calibration, preliminary operations, canting operations, and post alignment operations are described.
