VMXm HPFM Mirror System (DLSITT0386)

Tender description

The scope of the contract is for the design, supply of material, manufacture, assembly, test, delivery andinstallation of a horizontally focusing mirror system for the VMXm Diamond beamline. The system is composedof 1 hard x-ray mirror and its mechanical support and motion elements, vacuum vessel and base. The scope of the contract is the design, manufacture, test, and delivery of: - HPFM horizontal pre-focussing active mirror and mechanics. - Vacuum vessel. - Base support. - Mechanical and electrical interface to beamline services and includes the following: - Contract Terms and Conditions. - Design. - Supply and purchasing of materials. - Procurement of commercial components. - Manufacture of mirror system. - Inspection. - Cleaning. - Assembly. - Vacuum baking. - Packing. - Testing. - Quality Assurance. - Delivery. The supplier is encouraged to comment on any aspect of the specification and to identify possiblemodifications that could lead to either improved quality or reduced cost (without compromising the performance specification). It is acknowledged that different suppliers will have different preferences and techniques for manufacturing so itis anticipated that a series of detailed design meetings will take place to agree the definitive design of the mirrorposition adjustment systems. The supplier will then produce a set of detailed drawings to present to DLS for finalapproval at FDR prior to commencing manufacture. The optics will be installed at DLS on a remotely controlled positioning system and operated under very highvacuum (VHV) conditions. The mirrors are to be UHV compatible.
