SQXF Winding Test
• Uses the HQ winding mandrel as a baseline– FNAL-supplied mandrel spacer (120 mm -> 150 mm)
eliminated need for significant tooling fabrication• Parts rapid-prototyped in-house with Accura 60
– BEND design– Pole islands, wedges, spacers, end shoes

HQ Winding Tooling Modifications
Dec 17, 2013D. Cheng 3
FNAL supplied spacer to fill space from 120mm to 150mm dia modified for mounting to HQ mandrel
Winding Objectives
• Compare between copper and real cable– Winding behavior (parts shapes)– “Fluffiness” of coil in azimuthal direction
• Data gathering– Record mandrel rotation per turns– Observe effects of winding tension

Winding Parameters
Dec 17, 2013D. Cheng 5
• CERN Cable HQ16UC0121D– 1.527 mm average thickness– 18.05 mm width– 0.59° keystone angle– Cable insulation
• Directly braided S2 Glass, 66 TEX, 636-sized• ~146-150 µm, but LBNL 10-stack measurements pending to confirm thickness
• Winding tool used on all turns• Initial 5 turns wound at low tension (~11-13 kg)• Remaining turns
– RE wound at low tension (11-13 kg)– LE wound at nominal tension (25-27 kg)

Copper Cable Observations
• No popped strands– Same with the Nb3Sn winding test as well
• The cable did not form a concave shape at the ends, as observed in the Nb3Sn case
• Fluffiness of coil was virtually the same as with the Nb3Sn case– But cable seemed to want to “spring back” more, per
technician’s observation• Coil parts shape and fit seemed very similar between
both cables wound with same tension

Tension effects
• Higher tension did not seem to cause the cable to fit against the spacers better– Still needed significant azimuthal compression after all
turns were wound– RE spacers fit tended to have similar gaps as seen in
the Nb3Sn winding test– LE spacers also have similar gaps as seen in the Nb3Sn
winding test• Angle of cable against the pole/spacers, however,
tended to be shallower with higher tension

Summary
• The copper cable seems to behave reasonably well, compared with real cable– Parts shapes that don’t fit with one cable also didn’t
seem to fit the other
• Without final curing press, it is still hard to confirm the final endshoe shape– Midplanes of both needed more clamping for
position
