OMC Lower Wire Clamp Development, Crimp and Testing Procedures

Document #:

LIGO-T1300081-v2

Document type:

T - Technical notes

Abstract:

New wire clamps were needed for the lowermost wire clamps on the aLIGO OMC suspension. Being a new design, the clamps were tested for ultimate strength and repeatability.
