Tender Details

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 coordinated 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 Optics and Metrology Group at Diamond Light Source wish to procure and develop a computer-controlled optical surfacing (CCOS) machine. The CCOS machine will be used to complement the ion beam figuring (IBF) project at Diamond. It will be used to polish a variety of materials, including single crystal silicon (Si), used for x-ray mirrors, grating substrates, and multilayer mirrors substrates. It should be compatible with a range of sample sizes, up to 1000 mm (length) x 100 mm (width) x 100 mm (height). The machine should allow for polishing of various surface geometries. Using appropriate slurries and polishing heads, the machine should...
