We describe here the main mechanical stages on the insertion device (ID) beam-line 05ID-2, with the beam terminated in SOE-1 experimental hutch. The main mechanical components within the second optics hutch (POE-3) are: tiltable optics table that provides support for a set of filters, shutters and ion chambers and a moveable shielding assembly. The table provides 0.24 m vertical travel range and tilt capability of -8° to +13° (with respect to the horizontal) and 200 kg load capacity. Moveable shielding provides 2030 kg load capacity, with vertical travel range of 0.7 m and has two sets of photon/safety shutters, which are required for the KES imaging angle range of +12.3° to -7.3°. SOE-1 hutch is 6 m wide, 5 m tall and 10 m long and accommodates the large animal positioning system (LAPS) capable of positioning and manipulating samples up to 907 kg, over 2.7 m vertical travel range. This end-station also includes a unique camera positioner with a 320 kg load capacity, vertical travel range of 4.9 meters and ability to tilt the stage for KES and DEI modes.
