Production of MAX IV magnet systems

Main challenges:

Precision machining of large (2.5 – 3.3 m long) soft steel structures to ± 20 µm

Magnetic test of all individual magnets in the structures

Business with Big Science Projects Difficult to ”get in” Technically very demanding One off / Prototype Very demanding customers Loads of paper work Fixed price contracts Low margins

Solvent customers Often positive / neutral cashflow Extension of knowledge Customer paid development Spin off (technology, business) New business opportunities Profitable – (but not always)
