Description

SOLEIL II project is set to commence in 2025. This project aims to develop an ambitious Diffraction Limited Storage Ring (DLSR) that will enhance brilliance, coherence, and flux. Additionally, the upgrade will include the improvement in the experimental techniques on the beamlines. Automation has been prioritized to adress evolving requirements and simplify user experiences at the beamlines and accelerators operations. SOLEIL aims to develop systems for flexible control of instruments, ranging from manual to fully automated mode of opéeration. This approach involves optimizing experimental procedures, increasing beamline efficiency, and improving sample and data throughput.

As part of its strategic focus , SOLEIL is embracing robotics, with new applications based on 6-axis robot arms. The main purpose is on automating repetitive and time-consuming tasks, such as constant switching between measurements and sample replacements. Recent applications include automatic detector positioning for the NANOSCOPIUM beamline, liquid sample injection for the SWING beamline, and mechanical and magnetic adjustments for the insertion device modules. Through these advancements, SOLEIL is driving towards enhanced automation and operational efficiencies in its state-of-the-art research facilities.
