Camera Manipulator (RICXS experiment) - Vacuum / Cleanroom Multi Axes Systems

 

Vacuum multi-axis system

1 Tesla at 10E-8 mbar (UHV), hard X-ray beam, 42 piezo motors

RICXS experiment: (Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering) at the Bessy for use in synchrotron radiation research
- Swiveling a camera around super magnets 1T at 10E-8 mbar
- Adjustment of monitoring distance, upstream apertures, samples in the magnet

  • Vacuum: All ranges HV / UHV up to 10-8 mbar
  • Lubrication: dry up to 10-8 mbar, minimal liquid
  • Magnetism: Non-magnetic in the center
  • Max. Bakeout temperature: 80°C

Special features:

  • Strong magnetic stray fields in the center
  • Hard X-ray beam
  • 1 Tesla at 10E-8 mbar (UHV)
  • 42 piezo motors
  • Sub-µm stability focus motion across 300 mm with high stiffness at load of 10kg at variable attitude

Operation

The camera is swiveled around the magnet with the sample in two degrees of freedom and the distance to the swivel center is adjustable. The entire setup can be moved out of the vacuum chamber for maintenance (extreme magnetic field at the magnet at 10E-8 mbar)

All drives close to the magnet are designed with piezo motors. Several motors are operated in parallel to generate the necessary forces. Such motors are installed in the A-Drive, which moves the camera forwards and backwards, and in the aperture adjuster in front of the camera.

The drives for the swivel movements are positioned away from the magnet so that cost-optimized stepper motors can also be used here. These operate via dry-running worm gears and pulley, which ultimately generate the swivel movement. A curved guide with circumferential PEEK balls had to be developed for this purpose.
 

Application fields

Magnetic field measurement, research to increase storage density on hard disks, research, product development, visualization of magnetic functions in materials in an active state (you can "watch" magnetism and fundamentally understand magnetism better)
