Abstract
A mirror bending and positioning system has been designed for the two X-ray mirrors that will be on the Naval Research Laboratory's (NRL) Materials Analysis Beamline at the National Synchrotron Light Source. We will describe the design and testing of the system. The salient features of the system are its compact size, modular construction, orthogonalized motions, independent bending forces for each end of the mirror, and feedback mechanism for controlling the degree of bending. Calculations for one of the mirrors show that it will possible to match the slope of a parabola with a bent flat mirror to within 0.6 arcsec rms slope error.
