Hello Robin,
 
Rod Larson is preparing a summary of the Biaxial Table performance.
 
I need to combine his report with your Field Installation/Acceptance Report to send an email to Mr. Van Trung asking them to sign the acceptance. 
 
Please send me your report by next Tuesday, Dec 16, 2008 if possible.
 
Best regards,

Roger,
We successfully completed the Maximum Performance curve today on both X and Y axes. I have all the data to put together a final report that I can get to you about Tuesday and then you can send it to Suviet and get it signed...
 
Customer has completed initial training and Suviet guy is trained. Robin Tan can run the system quite well now.

Hello Rod and Robin,

 

Thanks for the very good news update, I agree that Robin has accomplished a very difficult task to get the system operational due to the flooding and our hardware changes.

 

Just a reminder, be sure to train them in the use of the SV Restricted flow manual valves whenever they intend to test a 15 ton specimen.  Refer to Mike Nemeth's summary message for the expected velocity reduction.  

 

Thanks again,

Roger,

You are very lucky to have Robin Tan working this system. He has done an incredible job of getting it back together in fine shape. I thought the bearings were totally shot, but the grease injection has given them some extended life. I will not run the max performance tests until Friday. Today, I got the A/D and D/A DUCs hooked up and tested and ran the system for new friction tests and THD tests. The system is performing VERY well. There are not much extra force pulses from bearing problems. A few at 1st, but after running a while, the bearings improved in performance. Do not assume that they will last long, though. I still think that we will have to replace them in the near future.

 

I intend to train Robin and IBST people the next 2 days and then run the last tests Friday. The accumulators really WORK WELL. This system is now a real seismic system and can reproduce all but the most energetic earthquakes. I ran several earthquakes today and found the system response to be vastly improved.

 

All for now....

 

Rod
