Description

As part of the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) project,
a modular platform with 6 degrees of freedom, the Universal
Adjustment Platform (UAP), has been developed. This plat-
form, based on standardized micrometric adjustment jigs,
enables the precise alignment of accelerator components
weighing up to 2000 kg. Following the successful valida-
tion of a fully functional prototype, serial production of the
standardized components began in 2025. To ensure qual-
ity and to meet the stringent requirements, a validation test
sequence—based on a specially designed test bench—was
established. This sequence allows the verification of the
series production (140 vertical jigs and 70 radial jigs) includ-
ing their micrometric backlash and behavior under nominal
load. This paper presents the testing methodology for such
a qualification and the results obtained.
