Konstruktion av drivenhet till Veritas : Konstruktionsförslag till drivenhet

Sammanfattning: During this project a mechanical design proposal has been developed for the Veritas project at Uppsala University. The Veritas resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) spectrometer aims at becoming a world leading beamline for RIXS in the 275-1500eV range. The instrument is almost 10 meters long and will rotate 120 degrees in the horizontal plane. Usually similar instruments are rotated manually. This project has developed a design proposal that allows the instrument to be rotated to a set angle without the need to manually move the instrument. The project started off with a phase of information gathering. It focused mainly on available products and suitable components. The information gathered here was later used to create concepts. To focus the concept generation on the most critical funcionality the challange was divided up into four different problems. Conecpts were generated for each of these problems. By comparing the conecepts against one another the most suitable concepts was merged into a final design proposal during a phas of embodiement design. This resultet in a motorized trolley. The trolley pulls or pushes the instrument around its rotational axis by moving along a rolled stainless steel T-profile. The final design proposal meets the mechanical and finiancial requirements set at the beginning of this project.
