Because much of this is still experimental, it calls for a lot of dimensional measurements. In building components so sensitive to deviations from the ideal, measurement and verification is both crucial and almost endless. |
We can push the conductor bundles as much as 3/16 of an inch, though it's rare we have to do that. For analysis, the software report is dumped to a spreadsheet. This data guides the coil-winding team in loosening the clamps and tweaking the alignment of the conductor layers, helping us get the coil in the right place with minimal manipulation. |
