  A new Table Positioning Device(TPD) for high precision and heavy load manipulations has been developed. Conceived as an alternative to the precision hexapods it fulfils the gap of sample (and/or, instruments) positioning in small (height) available working spaces of synchrotron Diffractometers (Dm). The concept is based on a Redundant Parallel Kinematic Structure (Rd-PKS) with four (4) legs having 2 dof active joints (actuators). In this Proof of Functionality (PoF) step, a stacked solution has been adopted for actuators design using the existent XY translation Positioning Units (Pu). The symmetrically modular 6-4(PP)PS precision mechanism - OCTOGLIDE(OG) having eight (8) gliding actuators (P) is implying also a pair of wedges - Elevation (El) and socket/ball - Guiding (G) Pu, as passive joints (P and S) forming one of the Positioning modules (Pm). Spatial positions can be reached without any singularities and planar motions along/around X or Y axis are performed very intuitively with some of the actuators (decoupled) motion. The first tests of the prototype are revealing both, high accuracy (straightness, flatness, etc) and stiffness capabilities.

  The abstract porpoise is explain how is providing the LM Guide for high performance machine by realizing the waving of Nano-level and achieves super-low waving and ultra-high rigidity by adopting 8 rows of raceways in the LM Guide. These models adopt (1) 8 rows of raceways, (2) small-diameter balls and (3) super-long blocks, in order to realize super-low waving and ultra-high rigidity that surpass the conventional LM Guide. With this approach, the number of effective balls is substantially increased, and the amplitude of the rolling element in motion is minimized. The new models realize super-low waving comparable to hydrostatic guides. In addition, the deformation of the ball is minimized to achieve ultra-high rigidity that surpasses even roller guides. Primary applications Super-precision processing machines/High-precision machining centre/Lathe/Surface grinder/Semiconductor manufacturing equipment/FPD manufacturing machines/High-performance measuring machines. [Waving evaluation] The waving values are approximately 1/10 of that (100 to 300 nm) of conventional ordinary LM Guides.

The Advanced Photon Source Upgrade (APS-U) project will include a suite of new beam-lines. In preparation for this, a team at the APS is developing an X-ray microscope with a novel granite (Earth), air bearing (Wind) supported stage to take advantage of the two orders of magnitude increased coherent flux (Fire) that will be available with the APS-U. The instrument will be able to operate as a scanning probe for fluorescence microscopy and as a ptychoprobe for the ultimate in spatial resolution. Both are combined with tomography. The goals for the instrument while operating at the current APS are to demonstrate fast scanning of large samples at high resolution and ptychography at the highest resolution (speed and resolution limited by available flux). This presentation will discuss the unique mechanics, interferometry scheme, the advanced scanning control, and instrument integration.

Nanopositioning techniques present an important capability to support the state-of-the-art synchrotron radiation instrumentation research for the APS operations and upgrade project. To overcome the performance limitations of precision ball-bearing-based or roller-bearing-based linear stage systems, two compact linear nanopositiioning flexure stages have been designed and developed at the APS with centimeter-level travel range and nanometer-level resolution for x-ray experimental applications. The APS T8-54 linear flexure stage is designed to perform a precision wire scan as a differential aperture for the 3-D diffraction microscope at the APS sector 34, and the APS T8-56 linear flexure stage is designed for a horizontal sample scanning stage for a hard x-ray microscope at the APS sector 2. Both linear flexure stages are using a similar improved deformation compensated linear guiding mechanism which was developed initially at the APS for the T8-52 flexural linear stage *. The mechanical design and finite element analyses of the APS T8-54 and T8-56 flexural stages, as well as its initial mechanical test results with laser interferometer are described in this paper.

  Magnetic chicanes are used in accelerator facilities to longitudinally compress the accelerated particle bunches. The second compression chicane (BC2) of SwissFEL consists of four dipole magnets bending the beam on the horizontal plane along a C-shaped orbit and has a total length of 17 m. The position of the two central dipoles can be continuously adjusted to achieve the required transverse offset in order to realize a wide range of compression schemes. To ensure the requires mechanical stability of the accelerator components sitting on the long and movable steel girder (7.7 m), it is essential to design a stiff support structure with high eigen frequencies. In the design stage, displacement frequency responses are calculated in a modal based linear dynamic analysis using finite element method to ensure vibration amplitude below 1 micrometer. Special considerations are given to the modelling of linear guide systems, as they introduce nonlinear support conditions and need to be adequately simplified in the calculation. After completing the BC2 assembly, vibration measurements were performed. Finally, the validation of the numerical model by measurement results will be presented.

The monochromator is known to be one of the most critical optical elements of a synchrotron beamline, since it directly affects the beam quality with respect to energy and position. The new 4th generation machines, with emittances in the range of order of 100 pm rad, require even higher stability performances, in spite of the still conflicting factors such as high power loads, power load variation, and vibration sources. A new high-dynamics DCM (Double Crystal Monochromator) is under development at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory for the future X-ray undulator and superbend beamlines of Sirius. Aiming at an inter-crystal stability of a few tens of nrad (even during the Bragg angle motion for flyscans) and considering the limitations of current DCM implementations, several aspects of the DCM engineering are being revisited. In order to achieve a highly repeatable dynamic system, with a servocontrol bandwidth in the range of 200 Hz to 300 Hz, solutions are proposed for a few topics, including: actuators and guides, metrology and feedback, LN2 indirect cooling, crystal clamping, thermal management and shielding. The concept of this high-dynamics DCM will be presented.

Neutron scattering is a complementary technique to x-ray scattering scientifically, but while there are similari-ties, there are some unique challenges in the design, con-struction, and operations. This poster will provide a brief description of neutron scattering, describe the technical components of spallation neutron scattering instruments, and discuss the engineering challenges found in the design and construction of these instruments.

  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.

  For the experiments at synchrotron radiation source BESSY II synchrotron of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin a new end station and a new beam-line were developed and are now in user operation. The end station contains a 9-2-1 Tesla vectorial magnet and a cryostat with manipulator for the sample cooling and positioning, an UHV deposition chamber, and an UHV detector chamber. We report here on the technical design of the detector chamber which is placed below the magnet chamber and is also connected to the deposition chamber. Because of various constrains a sophisticated mechanics had to be developed to provide integrated functionality for both the detector holder and the sample transfer units. The detector unit consists of a tubular holder of 5 cm diameter which travels more than 60 cm vertically and exhibits an unlimited rotation degree of freedom of 360 degrees within the magnet bore. The sample transfer unit consists of a telescopic movement mechanism allowing for the sample holder vertical travel within the detector tubular holder. The functionality challenges and their resolve were addressed in an innovative mechanical design.

FRBA03 Design of the Diamond Light Source DMM for the VMXi Beamline ion, vacuum, optics, radiation 420
 
  • D.J. Butler, J.H. Kelly
    DLS, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
 
  A Double Multilayer Monochromator (DMM) was designed in-house for the VMXi beam-line. This paper describes the novel engineering solutions employed to build a high stability instrument. PiezoMotor® actuators drive sine-arm Bragg axes for both optics providing the coarse and fine motion in a single actuator. The long translation of the second multilayer is driven externally via a linear shift to eliminate in-vacuum pipe & cable motions. A high stability air bearing translates the whole DMM across the two multilayer stripes. The optics are water cooled via an Indium / Gallium eutectic alloy bath to minimise coupled vibrations. The DMM is operational on the VMXi beam-line, experimental and performance data is presented.
