ALIO Diffractometer
The ALIO is a high precision diffractometer with fast translation stages. The phi rotation uses an air bearing to achieve a sphere of confusion of <1 um and can rotate up to 720 degrees per second. The air bearing is mounted on a linear motor stage that has 120 mm of motion (Z motion). Final positioning of the sample is achieved with two piezo motors (X and Y motion) mounted on the surface of the rotation stage. All motions are controlled with a powerful PMAC controller that can be programmed to handle coordinated XYZ motions and can be hardware triggered.
