Prototype Measurement Measurement Aim. To assess if the production method proposed would produce flanges accurately enough to allow for the production of a 15 flange 1 π ball arrangement. Single Flange Prototype made at Legnaro, and measured with a CMM at Daresbury. 3

Measurement Results θ 0.0521°error = 0.25mm 0.0214°error = 0.25mm Ω 0.0313°error = 0.15mm 670 0.0128° error = 0.15mm 0.0209°error = 0.1mm 0.0086°error = 0.1mm 0.0104°error = 0.05mm 0.0043°error = 0.05mm Measured deviation: Measured deviation: -0.004,+0.002,+0.007,+0.008,+0.013 -0.011,+0.0001,+0.0002,+0.0003,+0.0007 Conclusion. The prototype flange machined by LNL was well machined, Congratulations are deserved, care should be taken to maintain the accuracies achieved. 4

Detector Adjustment Progress Drawings of detector adjustment system are being checked prior to quotation and manufacture. Drawings of alignment gauge are in Progress. Expect all drawings to be complete early December. Plan to have a complete assembly mid to late January 2008. 21

Transportation frame progress Drawings of transportation frame to be completed by end of December Plan to have a complete assembly mid to late February 2008. 22

Support Structure progress Drawings of support structure have been completed and issued to Legnaro for manufacture. 23

Liquid Nitrogen support progress Drawings of Liquid Nitrogen support structure have been completed and issued to Legnaro for manufacture. 24

Future plans The UK is currently bidding to provide the mechanical design for installation of AGATA at both GANIL and GSI Milestones: Sept 2008 Agree design specification for the mechanical support for GANIL. May 2009 Finish design of the mechanical support for GANIL. Begin procurement. Oct 2009 Trial assembly of the mechanical support for GANIL. Dec 2009 Installation of the structure in GANIL. Jan 2010 Agree design specification for the mechanical support for GSI. Nov 2010 Finish design of the mechanical support for GSI. Begin procurement. Apr 2011 Trial assembly of the mechanical support for GSI. Jun 2011 Installation of the structure in GSI 25
