Design and
fabrication
of cryogenic automounters for use in at PXRR beamlines.
Currently a third automounter for use at
X12C
is in fabrication. It differs from the previous models deployed at
X12B and at
X29
in its handedness. The X8 robot mounts from the inboard side, wheras earlier models
mount from the outboard side of their beam lines.
Continued development of automounter technologies, with special emphasis on optimal cryogenics, and on grippers that are capable of handling the variety of commercially available crystal caps. Implementation at the NSLS of a high pressure crystal freezing apparatus modeled after a prototype at Cornell University. This work is a collaboration with Peter Siddons at the NSLS, Sol Gruner at Cornell, and Alexei Soares of the PXRR. |
| Past Activities: | Detailed design of the optical upgrades of PXRR beam lines X12B and X12C which included a shared new precollimation mirror, new monochromators, and a new focusing mirror for X12B. The work was completed in 2002 and met all expectations. |
