MANUFACTURING OF THE FIRST OF SERIES SIS100 DIPOLE MAGNET

Babcock Noell (Wurzburg, Germany) manufactures the First of Series (FOS) SIS100 dipole magnet for the FAIR project. This contribution reports on the progress during the design-phase, performed together with GSI, and on the manufacturing- and assembly-processes. Special emphasis will be given on new or special techniques adopted to fulfil the stringent requirements demanded by such a magnet. The new tooling systems and machines which were developed and brought into operation for this FOS magnet will be discussed.
