They are present in light switches\, zippers\, and even your plastic takeaway container. A compliant mechanism is a mechanism that uses one or more flexing features to achieve a mechanical outcome. We use them frequently at the AITC as substitutes for traditional mechanisms\, such a s bearings\, slides\, and hinges\, which often don’t meet the design req uirements associated with high accuracy\, repeatability\, sensitivity\, an d especially cryogenic environments.\nCMs have many benefits such as being backlash-free\, oil-free\, small in size\, low maintenance\, and cheap. T hey really tick many boxes and can be implemented in almost any engineerin g design requiring moving components. The challenge I found\, when startin g to use CMs\, was determining when to implement them and being able to im agine all the ways a CM could be designed and used to suit many applicatio ns. But with more exposure to CMs\, this became easier and creative soluti ons started to flow.\nThis presentation is a show and tells of the many ap plications of CMs designed at the AITC\, with the hope that it may inspire others during their design process.\n\nhttps://events01.synchrotron.org.a u/event/160/contributions/4903/ LOCATION:ANU URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/160/contributions/4903/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Developments at the ANU Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20221017T043000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20221017T045000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260608T203920Z UID:indico-contribution-1335-4895@events01.synchrotron.org.au DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Peter Linardakis (Australian National University)\nT he Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) at the Australian National Univer sity is reaching a series 50-year milestones in its operation of the 14UD tandem pelletron particle accelerator. Far from fading into the dying ligh t\, the accelerator and facility are instead pushing toward the future wit h an array of major infrastructure initiatives and an expanded range of in dustry relevant applications. Major capability upgrade projects include c onstruction of a space radiation testing beam line as a component of Austr alia’s National Space Qualification Network (NSQN) and an upgrade of ion beam injection with an additional alpha ion source and beam analysis hard ware. Fundamental systems too are undergoing upgrades\, with an extensive renewal of control hardware and underlying EPICS software and a replaceme nt of an aging radiation protection system. Perhaps the biggest indicator of the optimism at HIAF amongst the current\, shared challenges of the wo rld is the replacement of all ceramic acceleration tubes and posts within the 14UD to increase stability and restore the peak achievable voltage to its historical maximums.\n\nhttps://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/160/ contributions/4895/ LOCATION:ANU URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/160/contributions/4895/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:The National Space Test Facility DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20221018T000000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20221018T002000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260608T203920Z UID:indico-contribution-1335-5010@events01.synchrotron.org.au DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Eduardo Trifoni (ANU)\nThis talk will outline the Sp ace Test Facility run by the Advanced Instrumentation Technology Centre at the ANU Mount Stromlo Observatory.\n\nhttps://events01.synchrotron.org.au /event/160/contributions/5010/ LOCATION:ANU URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/160/contributions/5010/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Bearings in cryogenic environments DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20221017T045000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20221017T051000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260608T203920Z UID:indico-contribution-1335-4906@events01.synchrotron.org.au DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Nick Herrald (AITC)\nBearings present engineering ch allenges in a cryogenic environment\, both from geometric control and trib ology points of view. Differential thermal strains\, resulting from non-s imilar materials\, thermal gradients\, differential cooling rates or a lac k of suitable lubrication can cause bearing degradation or malfunction. T hermal strain issues can be overcome using by exploiting specific design g eometries\, whilst tribology problems can be mitigated with dry lubricatio n and cryogenic compatible surface treatments. We show how these challeng es were overcome in a cryogenic mechanism prototype which was recently bui lt at the AITC.\n\nhttps://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/160/contribut ions/4906/ LOCATION:ANU URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/160/contributions/4906/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:What is Model Based Systems Engineering?

Today\, it is primarily used to produce prot on and helium beams up to 3.5 and 1.5MeV respectively\, serving three beam lines via a rotating spectrometer magnet. Although the approximate beam cu rrent and transverse profile can be measured using the in-built rotating  wire scanners and Faraday Cups\, neither the beam stability nor trans verse distributions have been previously investigated or measured in detai l. Using only the diagnostics already installed in the beamlines\, we have performed systematic measurements to determine the beam current variation over timescales ranging from milliseconds to hours\, leading to increased beam stability with changes to the operating Pelletron settings. In add ition\, we have performed initial beam distribution measurements using a custom-built slit-grid apparatus. Our beam characterisation techniques co uld provide a low-cost method to probe parameters of the beam for improvem ents in the operation and efficiency of similar accelerators.\n\nhttps://e vents01.synchrotron.org.au/event/160/contributions/4894/ LOCATION:ANU URL:https://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/160/contributions/4894/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
