US Patent:

50725165, Dec 17, 1991

Filed:

Oct 30, 1990

Appl. No.:

7/607006

Inventors:

Andrew J. Jarabak - Pittsburgh PA
Wallace H. Sunderman - McCandless Township, Allegheny County PA
Edward G. Mendola - Fallowfield Township, Washington County PA

Assignee:

Westinghouse Electric Corp. - Pittsburgh PA

International Classification:

H01F 4102

US Classification:

29609

Abstract:

An automated facility for the large-scale production of superconducting magnets for use in a particle accelerator. Components of the automated facility include: a superconducting coil winding machine; a coil form and cure press apparatus; a coil collaring press; collar pack assembly apparatus; yoke half stacking apparatus; a cold mass assembly station; and a final assembly station. The facility can produce, on an economical manufacturing basis, magnets made of superconducting material for use in the ring of the particle accelerator. Each of the components is under the control of a programmable controller for operation having repeatable accuracy. All of the elements which are combined to form the superconducting magnet are thus manufactured with the dimensional precision required to produce a known, uniform magnetic field within the accelerator.
