Everson Tesla is continually on the cutting edge of magnet manufacturing technology, facilitated by our strong background in tooling design, manufacturing engineering, hydraulics, winding component integration and controls - all supported by an integrated manufacturing structure that provides efficient project start-ups and cost-effective results.
Tools used to assist system and component design include:
- Commercially available and proprietary 2-D magnet design programs
- ANSYS finite element 3-D engineering, magnetic, structural and thermal analysis programs
- Autocad computer-aided design program in 2-D and 3-D
Everson Tesla leads in the development of:
- Computer-controlled roll forming and winding for fusion and high magnetic field research
- Innovative production technology for sheathing Cable-in-Conduit superconductor in 1-km lengths for large magnet designs
- Forming the most challenging resistive and superconducting materials into demanding coil configurations to tight tolerances
- Use of insulation materials for radiation-resistant application
- Advanced techniques in Vacuum Pressure Impregnation and B-stage impregnation schemes
- Precision casting and sophisticated impregnation processes
- Solid and laminated iron corefabrication and assembly
- Resistive conductor forming with direct and indirect cooling
- Layer, pancake, strip winding configurations
