Dear colleagues, I need your help. One of my Bruker magnets started
misbehaving (abnormal boil off). If it becomes worse, there is a chance
that we will have to shut down and repair it. There are a few
complicating circumstances, however. First, this magnet was made by
Magnex Scientific. As I know Magnex Scientific ceased to exist in 2004.
Does anybody know if they are still conducting business under different
name? Are there still people around who worked for Magnex? Second,
somehow I cannot find the energization lead and valve operator for this
magnet which are necessary to de-energize and re-energize it(I looked
everywhere and could locate these accessories for every other magnet in
my possession except for this one). I contacted Triangle Analytical.
They can repair Magnex magnets but only if I provide the energization
lead and valve operator. Does anybody have these parts for similar
Magnex magnets that we can borrow (rent) in case such a need emerges? Is
it possible in principle to use energization lead and valve operator
from another Magnex magnet or they are strictly individual?
My magnet is 500 MHz, narrow bore, ultrashield. It was manufactured in 2003 and installed by Bruker.
Thanks for your help,
Alex
