Full Beamlines

At JJ X-Ray, we have a long history of designing and producing various types of beamline components as well as complete solutions for our customers.

A typical beamline consists of different types of optics, monochromators, attenuators, beam diagnostics, and beam defining slits. For a beamline solution, these diverse types of components need to be intelligently designed and integrated to provide the optimal x-ray or neutron beam for your desired experiment.

Fixed Masks

The white beam mask can be used in the front end or as a cost effective alternative to the white beam synchrotron slit. The white beam mask consists of two Cu alloy blocks with tapered square cutouts that can be moved vertically and latteraly such that each of the blocks from one-half of the vertical and one-half of the horizontal beam definition (like two L’s opposing each other).

Mirror Systems

The precision and accuracy with which X-ray focusing mirrors are positioned are crucial to all experiments on the beamline. The mirror positioning system needs to reflect the relevant photon beam from the storage ring without the interference of vibrations from the environment. Selection of the desired beam redirection requires submicron size linear translations as well as pitch, roll and yaw motions in the microradian range.

CRLS / Transfocators

A transfocator is a versatile X-ray optical device that uses compound refractive lenses (CRLs) to focus or collimate X-ray beams. By inserting different combinations of lens cartridges into the beam path, the total number of lenses—and thus the focal length—can be precisely controlled. This allows quick adjustment for different beam energies, spot sizes, and working distances. Designed for use in air or vacuum, transfocators are ideal for synchrotron and laboratory applications, offering stable, compact, and tunable X-ray beam focusing.

Motion Control Systems

JJ X-Ray provides comprehensive PLC solutions designed to enhance the integration and functionality beamline equipment. Our expertise in motion control and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) enables us to develop tailored automation systems that meet the specific demands in terms of precision and safety of scientific instrumentation in research environments.

We acknowledge that reliable control systems are essential for the optimal operation of beamline components. Our programming approach emphasizes robustness, flexibility, and ease of use, which collectively simplify the day-to-day management of complex equipment. By meticulously designing PLC-based solutions, we help streamline system operation, reduce downtime, and improve overall reliability, allowing researchers and technicians to focus more on their scientific objectives.

Our experience in the field of motion control is central to delivering high-accuracy, synchronized movements critical for beamline applications. Through sophisticated PLC programming, we can coordinate multiple axes, manage feedback loops, and implement safety interlocks. This precise control ensures that delicate components are moved smoothly and accurately, minimizing potential disturbances to experimental results. The result is a system that not only performs efficiently but also maintains the integrity of sensitive experiments.

Turnkey solutions

Using programmable logic controllers as the core of our automation solutions offers numerous benefits. A key aspect is the ability to develop a turnkey system by combining hardware and software components seamlessly. Our PLC programming expertise enables us to design integrated control architectures that incorporate sensors, actuators, and safety systems cohesively. This integration simplifies installation, commissioning, and future upgrades, reducing the time and effort required from the customer.

EPICS integration

We recognize the importance of interoperability within existing research setups. To this end, we provide integration options with EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) and Python, facilitating communication between our PLC systems and pre-existing control frameworks. In addtion we offer Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) that can be operated from the PC or a touch screen on the instrument. These options allow for greater flexibility in data acquisition, system monitoring, and automation workflows, making the control environment more adaptable and user-friendly.

Our team’s understanding of industrial control standards and scientific requirements ensures that each programming solution is tailored to the specific needs of the beamline application. Whether it involves the precise positioning of crystal optics, motorized stages, automated vacuum routines or complex feedback control, our PLC programming results in systems that operate reliably over extended periods under demanding conditions.

In conclusion, JJ X-Ray’s PLC solutions serve to complete and enhance mechatronic systems for synchrotron beamlines by providing robust motion control, integrated control architectures, and compatibility with popular scientific software frameworks.
