	The project to upgrade the I16 polarisation analyser was necessary to increase its functionality and to introduce a more robust construction. The requirement that the analyser was to be mounted on a diffractometer meant the construction needed to be as lightweight and as compact as possible. This provided opportunities to explore new collaborative ways of working with both in-house and external suppliers. The paper describes the approach taken to develop lightweight aluminium vacuum chambers working with a company specialising in additive layer manufacturing. In addition, the design of lightweight and compact slit assemblies are detailed; these were developed in collaboration with a supplier of driven linear stages. A novel requirement for the analyser is to have a detector mounted on a rotation axis in vacuum. The results of working with the in-house detector group to develop a design to with all the necessary thermal and electrical connections are described. The paper also describes further use of additive layer manufacturing to produce prototypes that allows the design of a cable management system to be optimised where previously using 3d CAD models had proved unsatisfactory.

The project to upgrade the I16 polarisation analyser was necessary to increase its functionality and to introduce a more robust construction. The requirement that the analyser was to be mounted on a diffractometer meant the construction needed to be as lightweight and as compact as possible. This provided opportunities to explore new collaborative ways of working with both in-house and external suppliers. The paper describes the approach taken to develop lightweight aluminium vacuum chambers working with a company specialising in additive layer manufacturing. In addition, the design of lightweight and compact slit assemblies are detailed; these were developed in collaboration with a supplier of driven linear stages. A novel requirement for the analyser is to have a detector mounted on a rotation axis in vacuum. The results of working with the in-house detector group to develop a design to with all the necessary thermal and electrical connections are described. The paper also describes further use of additive layer manufacturing to produce prototypes that allows the design of a cable management system to be optimised where previously using 3d CAD models had proved unsatisfactory.
