FMB Oxford is a multi-disciplinary engineering company with around 60 employees, specialising in the design, manufacture and installation of instruments for fundamental scientific research.  A recognised leader in the supply of high value instrumentation to the scientific community, the company has more than 20 years’ experience in the global Synchrotron industry. FMB Oxford has built an extensive product range from small in-vacuum motions to complete beamlines and continues to develop its offerings to provide new solutions capable of supporting the increasing demands of science.

FMB Oxford occupies four linked industrial units close to the centre of Oxford. The modern units, completely refurbished specifically to suit our synchrotron beamline business, provide a combination of office and manufacturing space in the ratio of 1:3. The current layout includes a dedicated UHV cleaning and testing area, extensive ‘in-air’ assembly areas and dedicated ‘in-vacuum’ clean assembly areas. Within the main clean assembly area there is a temperature-controlled isolation room incorporating a large optical table on which to test precision motion systems, such as DCMs and mirror systems. There is a new diagnostics and development department with X-ray source with ISO7 Laminar Flow Unit and, in early 2014, a new 36m2 ISO7 clean room with ISO5 laminar flow unit was added, recently extended to 80m2.
