The Elekta Synergy is a linear accelerator used in radiation therapy. It is constructed fromvarious mechanical components, including a set of 112.5° bending magnets, which need tobe aligned correctly in order to produce an efficient treatment beam. The current alignmentprocess is outdated and results in inconsistencies, which leads to prolonged assembly timesand the need to correct alignment errors. This paper details the study, design andconstruction of a new bending magnet alignment approach and thereby serves to introducea replacement for the current system. The proposed solution consists of an optimizedmechanical jig in conjunction with image processing software.
