The Kratos Supra is down Oct 20 2015 and up on Nov. 10 2015

Hi, All Supra users:

 

The Supra XPS is down due to the X-ray emission current issue. We are contacting the Kratos service for solution. (Oct 20)

We received feedback from Kratos today (Oct 26) that the X-ray filament in the SAC has to been replaced. The Kratos is arranging an engineer to visit us this week (probably on Wed, 28th) to solve the issue. Will keep you updated.

The X-ray filament was replaced on Nov. 4. The system was pumped and baking 12hrs. The filament was checked good at vacuum e-7 Torr range.

The Supra system is scheduled to vent and shut off at the night Nov.6 due to the building cooling water shut-down in the morning of Nov. 7.

The Supra will be baked over weekend of Nov 8-9. We will re-condition and test the X-ray filament on the  Monday, Nov 9.

The Supra is up running today, Tuesday, Nov 10 2015.

Thanks,

Qiyin
