Hi Ken, <br>
Thanks for taking care of this, It's great that Newport is moving
forward with this. <br>
Does this meet our specs for angular resolution though? <br>
As I remember, we specified two high resolution rotational stages <br>
with 0.0002 deg, and one 340deg-range stage with 0.01 deg
resolution. <br>
The list in your message includes two wide-range stages and one <br>
higher precision 45deg stage, but which has only ~17 microrad
resolution. <br>
From looking at their stages, it looks like BGS80PP type of stages
would <br>
match our resolution specs, but if they had vacuum compatibility
options <br>
and load capacity. On their web site they say that they can provide
the <br>
vacuum-compatible stages if it is not specified on their page. <br>
<br>
As for the controller, we bough one similar to what is mentioned
there <br>
for controlling other motors in the hall, but with 8 axis, XPS-C8,
and soon we <br>
will start learning how to include it into our slow controls. <font

Hi All,<br>
<br>
I've forwarded the most recent email from Newport, which allows me
to get some idea of the cost of the goniometer.<br>
My estimates for the motion stages during last week's call were
very much on the low side - I guess I looked at one of the cheaper
axes on their web site. Approximate prices are:<br>
<br>
Goniometer motion stages based on current layout: $43k<br>
<br>
Drivers and controller: $12k<br>
<br>
That makes a total of $65k, but that doesn't include spares or the
cost of them putting the thing together for us - and probably not
tax either.<br>
<br>
<br>
The costs are high because this equipment is vacuum compatible to
10-6 Torr.<br>
I'm assuming that we'll need this level of vacuum compatibility,
and that the goniometer will be in the beamline vacuum which will
be maintained up to the tagger focal plane.<br>
<br>
Please let me have any comment or questions you have on this.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Ken<br>
