Within the framework of the ESRF Phase II Upgrade Programme, a new state-of-the-art end station for the high-energy beamline ID31 is under development.
|
|
Research in many scientific areas such as material and life sciences are increasingly looking for instruments with higher spatial resolution.
|
|
The design of the new end station will enable many hard X-ray characterization techniques such as reflectivity, wide angle diffraction and diffraction tomography.
|
|
The need of great versatility induces many constrains on the end station such as combining \emph{large stroke} (\(\approx\SI{10}{\milli\metre}\)), \emph{high precision} (\(\approx\SI{10}{\nano\metre}\)) while accepting samples with mass ranging from \(\SI{1}{\kilo\gram}\) to \(\SI{50}{\kilo\gram}\).
|
|
|
|
Many positioning end stations have been developed with an increasing positioning precision \cite{martinez2016,DucotteMEDSI2016,ogurreck2013nanotomography}.
|
|
|
|
However, when nanometer precision is needed, thermal expansion and vibrations are becoming the main source of positioning error that cannot be compensated by encoders used for each stage.
|
|
Therefore, a direct metrology system is usually needed \cite{DucotteMEDSI2016}.
|
|
|
|
The aim of this study is to \emph{develop a short stroke Stewart platform that actively stabilize the sample position and compensate for all sources of perturbations and imperfection}.
