The NHa C400 prototype of the first compact superconducting cyclotron equipment for hadron therapy for our customer Sigmaphi Accelerator Technologies was completed all the Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), done at the SIMIC workshop, gave positive results.
The FAT test helped verify that the equipment newly manufactured by SIMIC meets the customer’s intended supply purpose and all other requirements have been met.
The superconducting coils, the cryostat and the electrical system for this unique cyclotron has been designed and built by Sigmaphi Accelerator Technologies on the behalf of NHa.
SIMIC is in charge of the manufacturing of the helium vessel, integrated by two superconducting magnets, and the vacuum vessel on behalf of Sigmaphi Accelerator Technologies, with very stringent requirements.
In the last days the equipment was shipped to Vannes in France to Sigmaphi Accelerator Technologies warehouse.
A further project that makes SIMIC proud to participate in the creation of this relevant and innovative technology that will provide significant advances in heavy-ion therapy, benefiting numerous cancer indications, particularly for large, hypoxic and radio-resistant tumors.
