Integrated multimagnet systems

• The design trend for the magnet system of modern synchrotron light sources is moving towards smaller magnet apertures with a reduction of magnet dimensions as a consequence. There are several reasons for this: • to increase the number of focusing cells in a given ring circumference • to increase the multipole field strengths • to reduce the total cost of the magnet and vacuum-systems This chapter describes the technology of integrating several magnets in a common steel block. Several new system properties are presented in the chapter: • A precise internal alignment of the individual magnets in the common block achieved by utilizing Computer Numeric Control (CNC) machines. • A reduced production and alignment cost. • Exclusion of separate girders. • The integrated block design yields a high rigidity to mass ratio, pushing up vibration eigen-frequencies. This chapter first describes the MAX IV integrated multi-magnet system in quite some detail. The results of the characterization of the system are presented at the end of the chapter.
