| 8/25/25 : installed new [[https://www.grainger.com/product/OMRON-Limit-Switch-Head-Cross-Roller-2CLX3|trigger]] for open dome limit switch that had previously broken off. Installed new torque limited coupler (see below) between motor and gear box, left if set at lowest torque setting which still allows slit to move, but slips even with relatively small counter-pressure on the slit. Slit still seems to move irregularly and as a result causes torque limiter to slip at some points. Also slit seems to have been moved (probably from last month's repair) such that the closed limit switch is never reached. Hypothesis is that cables need to be loosened, slit shifted to correct left/right positioning, then retightened. Put in work order to F&S to bring ladders, etc to accomplish this and also to lubricate the slit bearing and hopefully allow for smoother motion. | 8/25/25 : installed new [[https://www.grainger.com/product/OMRON-Limit-Switch-Head-Cross-Roller-2CLX3|trigger]] for open dome limit switch that had previously broken off.
