Abstract: A shelving system for sequencing goods from a high-bay warehouse into sequencing racks. The shelving system includes the high-bay warehouse with at least one sequencing level at a floor level and a plurality of storage levels operable to store large load carriers at storage locations thereof during normal operation of the shelving system, the large load carriers being operable to store goods of one type. At least one lift is operable for a vertical transport of the large load carriers is arranged in the high-bay warehouse. At least one transverse transfer carriage is arranged in each storage level for a horizontal transport of the large load carriers. A control unit is operable to process sequencing orders for a transfer of large load carriers in a sequencing order from the storage levels to at least one second sequencing area in the at least one sequencing level.

Abstract: A collimator assembly for an x-ray optical system having a Soller slit for collimation of x-ray radiation with respect to a direction of an axis (z) of the Soller slit, wherein the Soller slit has a plurality of lamellae spaced apart from one another and having lamella planes parallel to one another, is characterized in that the Soller slit comprises a plurality of segments which are arranged along the axis and are separated from one another. The arrangement also has a collimator frame for enclosing and guiding the plurality of segments, and at least one of the plurality of segments is displaceable with respect to the collimator frame and relative to other segments. A simple but nonetheless accurate adjustment of the spectral resolution of an x-ray spectrometer to a respective different analytical application is thus enabled in a compact and cost-effective manner.

Abstract: A measurement chamber of an x-ray spectrometer for analyzing x-ray fluorescence radiation from a measuring sample has an entrance opening for the entry of x-ray fluorescence radiation into the measurement chamber, a first goniometer arm for holding and adjusting an analyzer crystal, and a second goniometer arm for holding and adjusting an x-ray detector. The measurement chamber and entrance opening are sealed in a vacuum-tight manner by way of a window. The chamber contains a bearing block for receiving and holding both goniometer arms in a concentric and rotatable manner, the arms each being mechanically adjustable by means of a piezo-motor, which is securely connected to the bearing block or a drive plate of the respective goniometer arm. The measurement chamber contains all mechanical components of the goniometer and allows for a more compact, lighter and more stable x-ray spectrometer with a rotatable goniometer and little heat influx into the system.
