XZ Positioning Systems control X-Ray Slits
At the SSRF (Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility, Shanghai, China), XZ positioning systems control the optical x-ray slits to prepare the beam for experimental tasks. The slit system is working under ambient conditions. The slit system is working under ambient conditions.
The XZ systems consist of two stacked, high-load, motor-spindle-stages that have been customized to position loads of up to 800 N over a range of 50 mm (X) × 20 mm (Z). The stages are equipped with 2-phase stepper motors and are self-locking. Their cost-effective design includes limit and reference switches.
