Abstract:
In August 2006, about 95% of the production of the 1232 LHC superconducting dipole cold masses, whose coils are wound with Cu/Nb-Ti cables, is completed. One of the 3 manufacturers, having produced one third of the required magnets, completed its production in the end of 2005. The acceptance of the magnets takes place after the 1.9 K performance tests and has been issued for more then 1000 magnets so far. More then half of the dipole magnets are already installed in the tunnel. The paper reviews the main features of the dipoles, the most important steps of the manufacturing and the most critical operations. The quality control and the critical non-conformities that have led, for instance, to a swift campaign of investigations and repairs of few subcomponents (diode assembly, cold bore tube to welding flare fillet weld) are discussed. The status of the production and the performance of the tested dipoles will be presented. Finally the expected schedule for the completion of the production will be shown.
