  As a core component of proton therapy equipment, the gantry can project the proton beam onto a tumor from different angles. The weight of the gantry with normal conducting magnets(mainly normal dipole magnets and quadrupole magnets) is usually more than 150 tons, which puts forward high requirements for the design, processing and fabrication. Thus, for the realization of light-weight gantry, this article puts forward a design of Canted-Cosine-Theta(CCT) superconducting magnet used on superconducting gantry. Since the superconducting CCT magnet can produce higher magnetic field, for the proton beam with the same magnetic stiffness, the deflection radius of the magnet can be significantly reduced, thus reducing the radius and volume of the gantry. The finite element analysis software and Biot-Savart principle were adopted in this article to establish the method of magnetic field calculation for CCT superconducting magnet, and MATLAB was used to simulation and validation of particle path, which finally realize the design of CCT superconducting magnet that is applied in gantry.
