A deformation of up to 1 mm has been observed on the cold bore in the layer jump area following the collaring process of long and short dipoles. Four different test set-up have been implemented on short coil sections to understand and solve this problem

a ) Normal Configuration I - II

b) Metal Pole Configuration I - II

c) Shim Retainer Configuration I - II

d) Modified Layer Jump Configuration I - II

Four cold bore pieces have been used in these tests. Their main characteristics are shown on table 1.

Cold Bore Dimensions ( mm )

Length 1000 mm. Outside diameter 53 mm Wall thickness 1.5mm Inside diameter 50 mm
