A double multilayer monochromator (DMM) was designed in-house to deliver a 60 fold increase in flux. Two robots and an automated load-lock pass the plates from the crystallisation storage units to the goniometer. A compact endstation was designed to accept the high flux and take data with acquisition times down to a millisecond. This paper gives an overview of the beamline layout and the interesting pieces of engineering design. The beamline is planned to take first user at the end of 2016.
