Measurement Aim. To assess if the production method proposed would produce flanges accurately enough to allow for the production of a 15 flange 1π ball arrangement. Single Flange Prototype made at Legnaro, and measured with a CMM at Daresbury. 3
Measured deviation:
670 θ
0.0214°error = 0.25mm 0.0128° error = 0.15mm 0.0086°error = 0.1mm 0.0043°error = 0.05mm
Ω
0.0521°error = 0.25mm 0.0313°error = 0.15mm 0.0209°error = 0.1mm 0.0104°error = 0.05mm Measured deviation:
Conclusion. The prototype flange machined by LNL was well machined, Congratulations are deserved, care should be taken to maintain the accuracies achieved. 4

Measurement Aim. To assess if the production method proposed would produce detector assemblies accurately enough to allow for the production of a 15 flange 1π ball arrangement. 12
This images show the process of relating the measured points to the CAD geometry. 13
Level adjustment required Lateral adjustment required
Conclusion Adjustment will be required for the first detectors 14
Measured by CMM. FEA analysis. Using DTIs. 15
