Diffractometer Setup

The EDDI diffractometer is designed by Seifert for the HZB experimental station at Bessy. Since the monochromatic beam of the adjacent experiment is passing in some 300 mm distance to the diffractometer center there have been some demands on the design of the positioning system. Consequently, the 5-axes positioner just allows the chi tilt in one direction, calling for a phi rotation of 180°, if both directions need to be analyzed. A 4-axes positioner is available for heavy parts up to 50 kg. Mind that it is not useable for all applications due to its limited flexibility.

general4 - circle / 3 - circle diffractometer (depending on positioner)
positionerThe 5-axes positioner is based on an Euler cradle. The tolerances of combined omega-chi rotation is less than 90 µm (under extreme condition), the load must not exceed 2 kg. The 4-axes positioner is for measurements in the omega mode. It is designed for heavy parts up to 50 kg.
