Goniometer

DTU requires a precise and accurate two axis goniometer for the ‘High Enough Resolution Diffractometer’ (HERDi) that will be located at the DanMAX beamline at the MAX IV 3GeV synchrotron source. The HERDi instruments consists of the following larger components: Precise and accurate two axis goniometer with counterweights, a microstrip X-ray detector (SDD = 760 mm) covering more than 120 degrees in two theta, a motorized sample environment table, beam conditioning and a sample chang-ing robot. Only the goniometer and associated alignment motion is included in this tender. The agreement concerns the design, manufacturing, testing, and delivery of the HERDi goniometer for the DanMAX materials science beamline at the MAX IV 3 GeV storage ring. The beamline operates in the 15 – 35 keV energy range and conduct full field imaging and powder X-ray diffraction experiments. The first of three planned end station instruments are currently in the general user program. The second instrument is under commissioning, this tender regards the third instrument. The project is funded by grants from ‘Nationalt Udvalg for Forskningstruktur’ under the Danish Minis-try of Higher Education and Science, the Capital Region, and the Central Denmark Region. In addition to these grants the MAX IV laboratory Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Aarhus University, and University of Copenhagen are also contributing financially to the project. The time of Delivery is one year from the last signature of the Agreement. The Supplier must endeavor to deliver by the end of 2024.
