Wendelstein 7-X

All in all, the assembly of Wendelstein 7-X is progressing on schedule. 4 of 5 modules are now in their final position on the machine foundation. One of the biggest remaining tasks is mounting 254 ports. The challenge here is to keep the deviations from the intended placement within the allowed limits. This requires somewhat more effort than originally assumed, however the use of time buffers means that deadlines remain unaffected.
