Laminated magnetic flux sensor for thick-steel-plate control

This paper presents a rugged magnetic flux sensor, which can measure the thickness of steel plates and can operate reliably in the poor environment of a warehouse for thick steel plates. The sensor, consisting of a laminated sensing plate and a sensing coil, has a size of 6/spl times/6 cm/sup 2/, and it is embedded inside the core of a lifting magnet. Depending on the thickness of steel plates attached on the lifting magnet, the magnetic permeability of the core and the sensing plate changes. The thickness of steel plates is indirectly measured by measuring the changes in the magnetic flux density of the sensor. The measurement sensitivity of the magnetic flux sensor with laminated sensing plate is much better than that of a sensor with a solid sensing plate. With a proper procedure for securing measurement reliability, it is demonstrated that the sensor can measure up to 13 sheets of 6-mm steel plate.

Micro-mover Development and Test in the PAL-XFEL

Abstract Two micro-movers, which are able to control the horizontal, vertical and longitudinal positions as well as the yaw and pitch angles remotely, were developed and installed in the PAL-XFEL linac. The solenoid micromover in the gun section allows beam-based alignment of an electron beam to the solenoid field and the gun RF field. The X-band cavity micro-mover minimizes the transverse wake field effect caused by transverse misalignment between the beam and X-band cavity. Two micro-movers has similar specifications and the same mechanism, but the sizes are different from each other. In this paper, we present the design, manufacture and test results of the micro-movers.
