The Instrument Mechanics Group is a part of the Laboratory for Neutron and Muon Instrumentation (LIN), Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), PSI Center for Neutron and Muon Sciences (CNM).
We design and implement the mechanics for the scientific instruments and equipment’s. The main working areas are neutron instruments for SINQ and the muon instruments at SµS.
Our mechanics and design engineers work closely together with the Group Instrument Electronics and Controls to ensure a high availability and a good maintenance of the instruments.
Furthermore we are involved in various projects to upgrade our instruments and develop new key components for scientific purposes.
