The demand of exotic ions prior to their injection into an accelerator has driven the development of the charge breeding method. Existing facilities like REX-ISOLDE or ISAC at TRIUMF are already using a charge state booster for the post acceleration of radioactive ions. Planned facilities like EURISOL for instance have identified the need of a breeding system. In order to be comparable to the efficiency to a brut force acceleration employing stripper, the efficiency of a charge breeder has to be maximized and the breeding time has to be shortened comparing the existing breeder systems. Therefore the exploration and optimization of the charge state breeding is mandatory and supported by the EU. The Frankfurt MAXEBIS has been modified within the past years towards high current electron beam and external injection of alkaline ions by a surface ionisation source. The electron gun, the inner electrode structure and the collector of the MAXEBIS have been modified. The system has been shipped to GSI and re-assembled. The goals of the following experiments will be systematic studies of the breeding efficiency. The new setup and first experimental results will be presented.
