The Beamline Electronics Group (GAE) offers a wide variety of engineering and maintenance services necessary for supporting the operation and development of all hardware in the facilities of the Scientific Division of the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS).
The services include the design and installation of electrical and electronical infrastructure (cabling, racks, and panels), movement controls, automation systems and interlocking systems (for personal and equipment protection).
The GAE group works extensively in the optimization and maintenance of the LNLS’s current synchrotron light source UVX an also in the project of hardware systems to the new synchrotron light source Sirius. That includes electrical and electronical systems, movement controls, integration of commercial equipment, general automation and control, temperature control systems (for furnaces and air conditioning), monitoring cameras, structured cabling and finally the personal and equipment protection systems for the Sirius Beamlines.
