II.2.4) Description of the procurement:

In order to perform advanced spatially and angular resolved photo-emission measurements of solid state materials at the SGM4 beamline of the Astrid 2 synchrotron light source, Aarhus University wants to buy a piezo-driven manipulator, which is compatible with ultra-high vacuum conditions, non-magnetic, cryo-compatible and contains 6 degrees of freedom for sample alignment and 5 degrees of freedom for fine alignment of X-ray optics. We require linear translation for sample alignment covering (x, y, z)-ranges of 58.5 mm x 66.5 mm x 50 mm and yaw, pitch and roll of 349 degrees, +/-30 degrees and +/-60 degrees. For the X-ray optics we require linear translation covering (x, y, z)-ranges of 35 mm x 35 mm x 31 mm, as well as pitch and yaw of +/- 10 degrees. The linear translation needs to have integrated sensors with approx. 1 nm resolution and distance-coded reference marks.
