Acceptance Tests of the Mirror Bender for the Protein Crystallography Beamline

Results of the mechanical and metrological acceptance tests of the mirror bender for the PX beamline are reported. On the one hand, they showed an excellent quality of the mirror before and after mounting in the bender as well as a good reproducibility of the bender. On the other hand, they revealed significant problems with the worm gear actuators. These findings were incorporated in the revised actuator.
