  The RIXS Manipulator (RIXS = Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering) is a further development of the Carving Manipulator. The carving manipulator has six independent degree of freedom. (Three translations and three rotations). All three rotations are exactly in the middle of the sample surface. The head of the manipulator is in UHV and the sample can be cooled down to 10K. For the RIXS manipulator there is a new requirement to have a field of view from 0-180°. There are mainly two parts in the carving manipulator that set the probe in the shadow of the beam at small angles. - A bellow - The bearings To solve these problems we shifted the bellow behind the pivot point. This give some strange movements of the bellows and we had to analyse this in a separate test installation. For the bearings, we developed a goniometer bearing with ceramic bearing shells. Meanwhile the RIXS manipulator is implemented and in routine operation

  The RIXS endstation of ADRESS beamline at Swiss Light Source (SLS) is equipped with an ultrahigh resolution X-ray spectrometer. The spectrometer with a length of 5 m is installed on a rotating girder platform and allows varying scattering angles from 30° to 130°. The position of the CCD detector is longitudinally adjustable on the girder and vertically adjustable on a moving frame to allow an angle between 2° to 15° in the vertical plane. In the scope of a CCD camera upgrade, the modification of the vertical alignment of the guiding structure and ultra-high vacuum tanks became necessary. The new camera with a higher resolution and larger detector size weights around 25 kg. It is required to have a vibration amplitude well below 2 micrometer. We will present the critical design parameters of the upgrade, and the effort to increase bending stiffness of vacuum guide structure while keeping major geometry parameters. In addition, kinematic overdeterminacy was removed. After the upgrade we performed vibration measurements verifying that dynamic stability of the camera is improved, and design goal is reached. The site acceptance test confirmed the proper operation of the new mechanism.
