The RMC50 X-ray source with monochromator is based on ellipsoidal quartz crystal and operates according to Bragg Law of X-ray diffraction. Crystal mirror has been installed on special designed independent retraction, pitch, roll mechanism to precise adjustment working position and two halogen heaters controlled via PID regulator. The monochromator with a Rowland circle of 500mm diameter for a high X-ray energy resolution has a compact design with differential pumping ports and an optional polymer aluminized window can be installed to prevent from sputtering. X-ray source based on redesigned dual anode source has been installed on three degrees of motion high precise manipulator. Source has two operate modes – high power up to 600W, and small spot for high spatial/energy resolution measurement.
The XR40B set comprises 3 units for full control of the X-ray Source RS40B1: XR40B-EC Emission Controller, XRHV01-PS High Voltage Power Supply and XRCB-02 Cooling Controller.
The XR40B-EC unit controls the emission current of the X-ray source and also the XRHV01-PS high voltage power supply, displaying both, the high voltage and emission current, on a single display. The XR40B-EC displayed emission current is the exact emission current (corrected by the water leakage current of the cooling system). This combination allows very convenient and stable control of the X-ray source. The unit stores information about total anode working time and dissipated power. Communication with cooling box is via fiber optic wire. The XR40B set has both operational and standby modes, guaranteeing the most accurate and stable emission at the start of an experiment. The XRCB02 Cooling Controller delivers water cooling safely and efficiently to the anode and to the housing. It is fully interlocked, monitoring water temperature, pressure and flow, so that the instrument can only operate if fully safe to do so. The cooling box can handle up to two X-ray sources. The unit is equipped with autosave function (the device save your parameters, preset and apply them automatically after restart).
The XRHV01-PS unit provides a 0 to 15 kV output voltage and 800 W max. output power. The power supply is controlled via analogue I/O by XR40B-EC. The high voltage can be set via 0 – 5 V analog input, corresponding to a monitored 0 – 15 kV output voltage. The current limit can be set via 0 – 5 V analog input corresponding to a monitored output current of 0 – 50 mA. The output is fully protected in case of either short or overload current.
Full functionality only in connection with the Emission Controller XR40B-EC.
The XRCB-02 Cooling Controller is mainly used to cooling control of the X-ray Sources. Water cools the X-ray source’s anode, which operates at high potential. All water cooling pipework is electrically isolated. The XRCB-02 Cooling Controller requires a water feed from
a re-circulating chiller for correct operation. Water flow, temperature and pressure are continually monitored.
