S. Imagawa et al., CONSTRUCTION OF HELICAL-COIL WINDING MACHINE FOR LHD AND ON-SITE WINDING, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 32(4), 1996, pp. 2248-2251
On-site winding of two helical coils of LHD started at the beginning o
f 1995, using a numerically controlled winding machine. They are large
-scale pool-cooled superconducting coils which are designed to satisfy
fully stabilized criterion, The conductor consists of Nb-Ti/Cu strand
s with a pine aluminum stabilizer and copper sheath, The main demanded
values for winding the toils are 2.0 mm and 65 mu m for the accuracy
of coil and the average gap between layers, respectively, A winding me
thod was established by trial of winding.
