Notice Title
9004002 - Supply of K14 SWIFT Beamline HRM Mirror Systems
Notice Description
Located on the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire, Diamond Light Source (DLS) is a leading-edge facility for science, engineering and innovation. Diamond allows researchers from academia and industry to investigate the structure and behaviour of the world around us at the atomic and molecular level. To continue delivering the world-changing science that Diamond enables, the facility is being upgraded to Diamond-II, a co-ordinated programme of development that combines a major machine upgrade with new instruments and complementary improvements to optics, detectors, sample environment and delivery capabilities, and computing, as well as integrated and correlative methods. This will be transformative in speed and spatial resolution and will offer users streamlined access to enhanced instruments for life and physical sciences. The specification details the requirements of the Harmonic Rejection Mirror Systems for use on the K14 SWIFT beamline at DLS. The scope of the contract is for the design, supply of material, manufacture, assembly, test and delivery of a two-mirror combined system and its position adjustment systems for the K14 Beamline. The minimum scope of the contract is the design, manufacture, test, and delivery of: HRM system consisting of: * HRM1 - upward reflecting, monochromatic beam mirror & mechanics. * HRM2 - downward reflecting, monochromatic beam mirror & mechanics. * Fast pitch correction system for HRM1 * Cooling arrangements. * Vacuum system * Support system * Interface to beamline services and includes the following: * Design * Contract Terms and Conditions * Supply and purchasing of materials * Procurement of commercial components * Quality Assurance * Manufacture of mirror system * Inspection * Cleaning Assembly * Vacuum baking * Testing * Packing * Delivery
