Meeting for CLIC MBQ Steering magnet prototype manufacturing activities

Friday 13 Jul 2012, 11:00 → 12:15 Europe/Zurich

Bld. 867 Prevessin (CERN)

The meeting was organized to make the point on the just started activities on prototype procurement for 2 MBQ Steering corrector (Type1 and Type4)

Present: M.Modena, C.Lopez, M.Struik, M. Bruyas, E. Solodko
Excused: R.Lopez

Minutes:

1) Winding test ongoing with an outer diameter 1 mm wire sample (the nominal specified is 0.96 mm). Test are positive but Carlos and Michel are waiting a magnifying glass to proceed since not easy to do a correct check of the winding without.

2) Design of the winding and moulding tooling for TYPE1 done by Evgeny. Main components manufacturing launched with the AP.
We decide to GO ON with the TYPE4 tooling design without wait the results of the Type1 impregnation.  --> ACTION: EVGENY

3) Mike found a wire supplier able to provide a small quantity (~ 25 kg) of the right wire (0.9 polyamide-imide insulation). He will order it as soon as possible (some new procedure of Purcase Dept.make necessary an extra action from the supplier) --> ACTION: MIKE

4) The baseline will remain the IMPREGATION of the coils with resin, but it will be interesting to test the "pre-preg" (or "bonding" cable that also exist on the market, since it will not require a resin impregnation but only a thermal cycle in a oven. Mike will try to find a supplier for such wire with the correct diam. --> ACTION : MIKE

5) Since: we are approaching an holidy period,  some componenst are under procurement,  and there are other priorities at NormaLaP (Alpha solenoids), the main winding activities will start around  the 20 August.

6) The order with LCD for the staked laminations is not yet active. Roberto and Carlos meet the LCD guys in Berlin and they clarify the point badly perceived about CERN required documentation. Roberto and Mike are officially indicated in the TS as CERN contacts, so they should report about status once Roberto back and offer confirmed by LCD  --> ACTION: ROBERTO/MIKE

7) Clarifed that Carlos will be the responsible of the winding AND assembly activities; interacting directly with Evgeny for any technical drawing need. He will report to me about advancement, needs, etc.
