Since DORIS III became a dedicated source for synchrotron radiation in 1993, the demands of the synchrotron-light-users concerning the beam position stability have permanently increased.In order to improve this stability, different measures have been adopted, all with success. The vacuum chambers have been renewed, since they were the source of quadrupole movement, which caused strong horizontal orbit distortion. In 2003 a new orbit position control was implemented, based on the ?Singular Value Decomposition? method. The position information comes from synchrotron light monitors, installed in the beam-lines, and from the orbit measurement system, which operates with a maximal measurement rate of 5Hz and a spatial resolution not less than 20μm. To satisfy the requirements for beam-position stability, the orbit measurement system has been further developed. The test stage is nearly finished and the new system will be installed soon. The orbit measurement rate will exceed 250Hz und the spatial resolution will be less than 2μm. In addition beam oscillations of up to 20Hz can be damped.
