Beamline components

New beamlines and instruments are an integral part of progress in scientific research and require the latest technological developments. Other important factors to consider in a beamline project are the constraints linked to large facilities, the budget, deadlines, …. The success of a project of this type rests on an experienced engineering team and a tried and tested project management package.

IRELEC proposes various solutions which range from upgrading existing components to the supply of turnkey equipment.

Specific know-how in this field is:
- complete raytracing for beamline definition and heat load on optics evaluation
- thermomechanical FEM simulation for optics cooling system optimisation
- cryogenic cooling system design for DCM crystals
- definition of mirrors: shape, surface finish, substrate, coating,…
- mechanical studies for optical components (mirror holder, bending system, cooling system, …)
- vacuum constraints optimisation
- beamline alignment definition
- beamline control system definition.

Complete beamlines are supplied in collaboration with FMB.
