Optics Support Table – Design GoalsRepeatable position optics in two operating positions (mono, direct)
Initial beam based alignment is expected for each position but the desire is to have a configuration file loaded for each operating mode without the need for alignment
Stably support X-ray optics and diagnosticsDesign logic:
Optical axis will be defined by XPP slitsX-ray optics and interaction point can drift together on the order of 100 µm with minimal impact
However, the diffractometer thermal drift is an unknownIt was determined that it was best to design a support table that fixes the position and alignment of the optical elements to the highest extent reasonably achievableThis reduces misalignment issues to a one dimensional problem
Design goals in priority order:Stability of optics with respect to each other over short and long term periodsAbsolute position stabilitySlits are the gold standard and need to be the most stable of all elements

Optics Support Table – Case Studies
Analyzed component displacement due to bowing of support structure for a 2° F temp changeAnalyzed global displacement of entire structure due to 2° F thermal expansionLarge granite surface plate with a low profile strongback was best option
Themalization time constant of the granite is many daysHowever, the drawback is the rigging effort – must be moved in through the FEH

Optics Support Table – Design
Strongback has been split into two sections to minimize bowing and to prevent system overconstraintsStrongback is strategically tied down to rails near locations of slits

Questions for the Committee
Is the sample goniometer design optimized form the scientific goals of the instrument?
Are the sample mover design requirements reasonable?
Does the sample mover path forward seem reasonable?
Is the design logic of the optics support table valid?
Any other concerns/comments?
