Capacitor loading equipment module (CLEM) operation manual
The purpose of this manual is to provide the necessary information to safely operate and maintain the capacitor loading equipment module designed and built by EG&G, Inc. for the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory Shiva Laser System. The system consist of two primary pieces of equipment: a Clark forklift and the Platform Assembly (CLEM). The fork-lift transports CLEM to and from capacitor module racks and repair/storage areas, and provides 24-volt d-c power to CLEM. The CLEM system is used to place or remove capacitor modules to or from shelves and provides a platform for transport. Capacitor modules are approximately 15 in. high and 30 in. deep. The widths and weights range from 42 in. to 75 in. and 600 lb. to 1125 lb., respectively. The storage racks are 7 shelves high and spaced 20.5 in. apart. The fourth through seventh shelf are considered the upper level. CLEM also has a manlift and remote control station to provide the operator access to capacitor modules on shelves higher than S feet. The CLEM platform translates right and left from the center position to the shelf. A drawbar, which pulls a capacitor module onto the platform or pushes the module from the platform onto the shelf, translates the full width of the platform. Capacitor modules can be handled from either side of CLEM. Maximum-load and critical data are listed on a name plate attached to CLEM. CLEM is finished with a durable, baked-on epoxy powder coating.
