Following successful proof-of-concept experiments, we constructed compact varying-gap undulator with Hydraulic-Assist Driver. The 1.5m long undulator features a pure permanent magnet structure, period of 28.4 mm and a minimum gap of 6.75mm. The bench test of the device indicated excellent mechanical and magnetic performances. It demonstrated less than 3 deg RMS optical phase errors in a wide range of gap variation; ~1.0e-4 (or better) repeatability in normalized K_und (dK/K) from one gap variation to another; ~1.0e-4 RMS of dK/K long term (~24hrs) stability. In special mode, when the gap was varied in correlation with undulator temperature, undulator demonstrated dK/K stability at the level 5.3e-5 RMS while the undulator temperature change was ~0.4 degC. In this paper, we discuss the critical design components and criteria required for undulator mechanical stability and magnetic performance. We also describe our Lab-View-based control system governing the Hydraulic-Assist Driver. Finally, we present the test setup and results. |
