"Joggle tool + tilting tool" equipment

Project: To design the “JOGGLE TOOL + TILTING TOOL” system to form conductors for the ends of the ITER poloidal-field coils (PF)

To produce the “JOGGLE TOOL” and “TILTING TOOL” tool support – mechanically welded structures designed to accommodate the “JOGGLE TOOL” (4.5 t) in two positions: S1 (“normal” tool) and S2 (“turned” tool) via retrofitting
To consider that in each position, the “JOGGLE TOOL” tool should be able to fold the conductor and disengage itself, allowing for transfers to be made along X and Y axes, and a rotation around Z (upwards along the vertical axis)
To provide for the handling of 4.5 tonnes of equipment in rotation, with an angle of +/- 0.015° and in independent longitudinal and lateral transfers in steps of +/- 0.5 mm, with a stroke of 100 mm
To assign a project engineer to ensure monitoring and documentation; a research manager; a technical manager; two qualified sheet metal workers; two qualified welders; a workshop manager; two qualified fitters; and a site team
