1.0 Overview
Slider4 flexure test setup on the rotator in the Optical Lab and results are documented below. The existing design of Slider4 was tested with various clamps and temporary modifications. The results of these tests were then incorporated into design changes in Sliders 3, 4 and 5. From May 31, 2001 through June 14, 2001, eighteen separate tests were run using the optics lab testbench environment. The results of these tests can be found by reviewing the charts referenced below.
