Abstract
A computer-controlled, fully automated beam-scanning system for use in colliding beams experiments or for investigation of the behaviour of ion optical systems is described in detail. The construction details of the shutter mechanism together with the critical points in its design are presented. Sample beam profile data are given in the form of contour plots.Keywords
