Nowadays, energy and angular spread of the laser-driven beams are the main issues in application and different solutions for dedicated beam-transport lines have been proposed. In this context a system of permanent magnet quadrupoles has been realized, by INFN researchers in collaboration with SIGMAPHI company, to be used as a collection system for laser-driven protons up to 20 MeV. The definition of well specified characteristics, in terms of performances and field quality, of the magnetic lenses is crucial for the system realization and an accurate study of the beam dynamics. Hence, a method for studying the errors on the PMQ harmonic contents has been developed. It consists of different series of simulations in which magnetic and mechanical errors are introduced in the array and the harmonic content is analyzed to fix the tolerances necessary to have a good beam quality downstream the system. The method developed for the analysis of the PMQs errors and its validation is here described. The technique is general and can be easily extended to any magnetic lens.
