Subject: M1 Rz damaged - DO NOT MOVE!!! 

What has happened:
During euler motion calibration of M1, we were driving the vertical motors by a few mm back and forth. At some point, the Rz motor went into error, as we attempted to go further in negative direction. Resetting the axis several times did not solve the problem. The vertical motors were then moved to 0 position. DOC was called and helped to overwrite some parameters that triggered the error.
When resuming the calibration routine, the beam suddenly got lost and the vacuum interlock triggered V0 to close. Vacuum in M1 recovered quickly, but on M2 popIn, only the direct beam could be seen. At this point, the conclusion was that one of the motor connections must have come loose, which caused the vacuum event and removed M1 from the beam.

It was then decided, that we break the interlock, vent the chamber and re-connect the motor if possible.

The situation we found was the following:
-Rz connection lead-screw to bellow was detached
-mirror sitting on the mirror holder
-significant InGa spillage on chamber bottom, window flanges opposite to the mirror AND a lot of drops on the mirror surface

Pictures are attached.

Intervention:
The lead-screw and nut were exchanged. There was significant wear on the bearing plate, connecting the lead-screw to the bellow.
When trying to install the new lead-screw with a spare bearing plate, it was found that apparently the thread on the bellow side was deformed as well, and the spare part did not fit to the thread. Since the old bearing plate was the only possible way to connect the lead-screw to the bellow, it was cleaned, lubricated and re-used. The position was manually adjusted around 0 position (66,7mm protrusion) and the motor connected.

Recommendations:
- since the damaged bearing plate was re-installed, it should be avoided to move Rz. The motor should be permanently interlocked and only operated with absolute care for initial alignment.
- the mirror surface is severely contaminated with InGa, it must be checked if a position with acceptable beam can be found (only to be done by XRO as this needs Rz to be moved)
- the affected bellow has to be exchanged to facilitate replacement of the damaged bearing plate. As this requires the mirror chamber to be opened, this only makes sense in connection with replacement of the mirror + cleaning of the chamber.
