Collider Dipole Magnet Producibility

Abstract

Current baseline designs for SCC dipole magnets are reviewed and analyzed to determine the extent to which the designs are producible. Key elements of a producible CDM design involve simplicity, standardization, and the integration of design for manufacturability. Simplicity entails minimizing piece parts, combining components, providing self-locking features, and usage of unidirectional assembly. Standardization entails using common size fasteners, providing for modularity, using existing “off the shelf” hardware, and making designs identical when they are similar. Design for manufacturability entails designing for assembly, designing around known manufacturing capabilities and capacities, providing for assembly access, designing for multiple sourcing, designing for automation and providing as generous tolerance control as possible consistent with the statistical distribution for the manufacturing and assembly processes involved. We will present a summary of our plans for enhancing the producibility of the CDM design.
