LIPAc* will be a 9 MeV, 125 mA CW deuteron accelerator which aims to validate the technology that will be used in the future IFMIF-DONES accelerator**. The acceleration of the beam will be carried out in two stages. An RFQ will increase the energy up to 5 MeV before a Superconducting RF (SRF) linac made of a chain of eight Half Wave Resonators bring the particles to the final energy. Between both stages, a Medium Energy Beam Transport line (MEBT)*** is in charge of transporting and matching the beam between the RFQ and the SRF. The transverse focusing of the beam is controlled by five quadrupole magnets with integrated steerers, grouped in one triplet and one doublet. Two buncher cavities surrounding the doublet handle the longitudinal dynamics. Two movable collimators are also included to purify the beam optics coming out the RFQ and avoid losses in the SRF. In this contribution, the final integrated design of the beamline will be shown, together with the auxiliaries. The manufacturing of all the components and the integration in the beamline will be depicted. The final tests carried out to the beamline prior to the installation in the accelerator will be also reported.

The Medium Energy Beam Transport line (MEBT) that is being installed on the LIPAC accelerator* will have five quadrupole and steerer magnets which have been recently manufactured and tested. The design of the magnets was done by CIEMAT** and considers a magnetic yoke made of four solid iron quadrants joined together. The yoke integrates four water-cooled coils (quadrupole) and eight air-cooled coils (steerers) made of copper wires. The manufacturing and testing (excluded magnetic measurements) of the five magnets were carried out by the Spanish company ANTECSA. This paper focuses on the technical aspects considered during the manufacturing and the assembly of the different components of the magnets. The details about the geometrical, electrical and hydraulic measurements and tests that were carried out before the magnetic measurements are also described.
