The HERA accelerator facility, is a collider for electrons and protons. It consists of two independent accelerators designed to store respectively 820 GeV protons and 30 GeV electrons. The two counter-rotating beams collide head on in up to four interaction regions which are distributed uniformly around the accelerator circumference of 6336 m. It is the first time that such a large number of superconducting magnets has been fabricated in industry. The experience of the series production and a detailed discussion of the magnet performance will be presented in this paper.
