Design and development of a work robot to place ATLAS SCT modules onto barrel cylinders
نویسندگان
چکیده
More than 2000 silicon modules need to be placed and fastened on the ATLAS SCT barrel tracker. A semi-automatic pick-and-place work robot was designed and developed to cope with the module placement for the SCT barrel assembly. We found that this robot could place modules to a mechanical precision of better than 25 mm. r 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 29.40.Gx; 29.40.Wk; 29.90.+r

Construction and performance of the ATLAS silicon microstrip barrel modules
The ATLAS Semiconductor Tracker (SCT) consists of four barrel cylinders and 18 end-cap disks. This paper describes the SCT modules of the barrel region, of which more than 2000 are about to be constructed. The module design is fixed. Its design concept is given together with the electrical, thermal and mechanical specifications. The preseries production of the barrel modules is underway using m...
متن کاملRobotic mounting of ATLAS barrel SCT modules
The 2112 silicon detector modules of the barrel part of the ATLAS SemiConductor Tracker (SCT) have been mounted on their carbon fibre support structure. Module insertion, placement and fixing were performed by robotic assembly tooling. We report on our experience with this assembly method. Part of the mounting sequence involves a partial survey of elements of the support structure which is need...
متن کاملResults of early phase of series production of ATLAS SCT barrel hybrids and modules
A status of early series production of the barrel hybrids and modules of the ATLAS Semiconductor Tracker (SCT) is reported. 120 hybrids (with ASIC’s) and 98 modules were fabricated in Japan by the mid. August 2002 and gone through extensive quality assurance tests. Defective channels were found much less than 1% in hybrids and still less than 1% in modules. No increase of defective channels was...
متن کاملBeamtest of Non-irradiated and Irradiated ATLAS SCT Microstrip Modules at KEK
-Non-irradiated and irradiated ATLAS SCT barrel and endcap modules have been beamtested with 4 GeV/c pions. Pulse shapes confirmed the peaking time of the amplifier to be 22 ns with slight deterioration in the irradiated modules. Median charges saturated around 3.8 fC both in the non-irradiated and irradiated modules. Signal/Noise ratios, using the noise estimates from the in-situ calibration, ...
متن کاملATLAS SCT Hybrids Experience
The hybrids of ATLAS semi-conductor tracker (SCT) were made with Cu/Polyimide flex-circuits, reinforced with carbon-carbon substrates, in the barrel and in the endcap modules. We report successes, problems and solutions in the course of production of 2600 pieces of hybrids each.
