Cloche Kit – HV Feedthrough Chamber – ITER

Design for manufacture, pre-series and serial production of vacuum components

Industrialisation and manufacture of a mechanical assembly for ITER’s HV Feedthrough, with a six-unit pre-series and 588 serial-production units.

Description

The project.

The Cloche Kit is a mechanical assembly associated with ITER’s HV Feedthrough. It combines vacuum chamber and cable strain relief functions, providing the conditions needed for assembly testing, including vacuum and leak-tightness tests.

As a direct supplier to ITER Organization, AVANCEM undertakes design for manufacture, validation through a six-unit pre-series and serial production of 588 units: a total programme of 594 units. The industrial scope covers precision machining, cleaning, assembly, inspection and FAT, including helium leak testing of every unit, with in-house manufacturing and traceability control.

Technical scope

  • Design for manufacture and industrialisation of the assembly
  • Production and validation of a six-unit pre-series
  • Serial manufacture of 588 units
  • Precision machining, cleaning and assembly
  • FAT and helium leak testing of 100% of units
  • In-house manufacturing, quality control and traceability
