Abstract

The electromagnet support frame is for supporting an electromagnet having a trunnion pair which comprises two trunnions that are formed on mutually opposite side-faces of the electromagnet and whose central axes are matched to each other, and is characterized by including support fixtures whose number is the same as that of the trunnions and in which engaging parts are formed that are engaged with the trunnions so as to cover outer faces thereof, and a mounting frame that holds the support fixtures through vertical adjustment parts that move the fixtures in a vertical direction.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An electromagnet support frame which supports an electromagnet that controls a beam path of a charged particle beam,
wherein the electromagnet has a trunnion pair which comprises two trunnions that are formed on mutually opposite side-faces of the electromagnet and whose central axes are matched to each other;
said electromagnet support frame comprising:
support fixtures whose number is the same as that of the trunnions and in which engaging parts are formed that are engaged with the trunnions so as to cover outer faces thereof; and
a mounting frame that holds the support fixtures through vertical adjustment parts that move the fixtures in a vertical direction.

2. The electromagnet support frame of claim 1 , wherein the electromagnet has a first trunnion pair provided as the trunnion pair and placed nearer to an incident side of the charged particle beam and a second trunnion pair provided as the trunnion pair and placed nearer to an emission side of the charged particle beam, and wherein the support fixtures engaged with the trunnions of the first trunnion pair are different in vertical position to the support fixtures engaged with the trunnions of the second trunnion pair.

3. The electromagnet support frame of claim 2 , wherein the vertical adjustment parts each have an adjusting screw rod and a nut, so that the vertical position of each of the support fixtures is adjusted by changing a position of the nut relative to the adjusting screw rod.

4. The electromagnet support frame of claim 2 , wherein the mounting frame comprises an upper mounting frame, a lower mounting frame, and a horizontal adjustment part that moves the upper mounting frame relative to the lower mounting frame in a horizontal direction.

5. The electromagnet support frame of claim 1 , wherein the vertical adjustment parts each have an adjusting screw rod and a nut, so that the vertical position of each of the support fixtures is adjusted by changing a position of the nut relative to the adjusting screw rod.

6. The electromagnet support frame of claim 5 , wherein the mounting frame comprises an upper mounting frame, a lower mounting frame, and a horizontal adjustment part that moves the upper mounting frame relative to the lower mounting frame in a horizontal direction.

7. The electromagnet support frame of claim 1 , wherein the mounting frame comprises an upper mounting frame, a lower mounting frame, and a horizontal adjustment part that moves the upper mounting frame relative to the lower mounting frame in a horizontal direction.

8. An electromagnet support frame which supports an electromagnet that controls a beam path of a charged particle beam,
wherein the electromagnet has an engaging-part pair which comprises engaging parts provided as two recesses that are formed on mutually opposite side-faces of the electromagnet and whose central axes are matched to each other,
said electromagnet support frame comprising:
support fixtures whose number is the same as that of the engaging parts and in which trunnions are formed that are engaged with the engaging parts so that outer surfaces of the trunnions are inserted therein; and
a mounting frame that holds the support fixtures through vertical adjustment parts that move the fixtures in a vertical direction.

9. The electromagnet support frame of claim 8 , wherein the electromagnet has a first engaging-part pair provided as the engaging-part pair and placed nearer to an incident side of the charged particle beam and a second engaging-part pair provided as the engaging-part pair and placed nearer to an emission side of the charged particle beam, and wherein the support fixtures engaged with the engaging parts of the first engaging-part pair are different in vertical position to the support fixtures engaged with the engaging parts of the second engaging-part pair.

10. The electromagnet support frame of claim 9 , wherein the vertical adjustment parts each have an adjusting screw rod and a nut, so that the vertical position of each of the support fixtures is adjusted by changing a position of the nut relative to the adjusting screw rod.

11. The electromagnet support frame of claim 9 , wherein the mounting frame comprises an upper mounting frame, a lower mounting frame, and a horizontal adjustment part that moves the upper mounting frame relative to the lower mounting frame in a horizontal direction.

12. The electromagnet support frame of claim 8 , wherein the vertical adjustment parts each have an adjusting screw rod and a nut, so that the vertical position of each of the support fixtures is adjusted by changing a position of the nut relative to the adjusting screw rod.

13. The electromagnet support frame of claim 8 , wherein the mounting frame comprises an upper mounting frame, a lower mounting frame, and a horizontal adjustment part that moves the upper mounting frame relative to the lower mounting frame in a horizontal direction.
