4.3.1.6.Assembling the Superspring

Replace emitter-detector block in the original orientation. The emitter (two
terminal device with red/white wires) should be oriented below lever pivots.
Replace lower triangular spring plate and attach support springs. Slide travel
lock fork assembly onto shaft and re-install the two shoulder screws. Replace
spring assembly into lower plate being careful of voice coil . Note: do this on a
flat surface so the rods seat flush with the bottom of the lower plate , then tighten
barrel clamps. Check movement of center tube by blocking up travel lock fork
assembly (so it doesn’t rub), removing wire tie and foam back, then gently
bouncing center tube and checking to see if it moves freely. NOTE: Test mass
must be centered in cage (hanging plumb), and wires must not drag. Replace
spring assembly into service ring. Insert 6mm screws but don’t fully tighten.
Replace the travel lock assembly. Rotate the main spring assembly in the service
ring so that the travel lock fork has equal clearance around the two shoulder
screws, then tighten 6mm screws.

Install electrical feedthrough. Re-connect all electrical connections. Level the
Superspring by viewing on each side of copper mass and centering in cage (place
entire Superspring on an adjustable table to change where the mass hangs). Note
that the mass should hang down approximately 1.5mm from the point where it
makes contact with the top of the cage assembly as the system is travel -locked.

Use the Superspring controller to drive the zero-positioning motor (ZPM) until
the sphere voltage is zero. Measure the gap between the two levers near the
ZPM. Adjust the coarse adjustment screw so that when zeroing the sphere
voltage, the motor will end up in its center of travel position (about 6mm gap
between lever arms

±

0.5mm). Note that when you are far off of the detector the

sphere voltage starts at zero and then goes to a maximum and then over a short
range goes through zero (it looks like an S curve). Make sure sphere detector
voltage goes +/- to assure true zero position.

Viewing from top, carefully rotate the corner cube and visually align the beam
holes in top lever with the ones in the copper Test mass, adjust by rotating the
coarse adjustment screw and lock in position by tightening both top and bottom
nuts.
