Using an isocentric gantry improves the efficiency and the flexibility of cancer treatments with ion beams (hadrontherapy). After an overview of the constraints imposed to these heavy equipments the gantries constructed for both proton and carbon ion facilities will be described. Finally, the new studies undertaken to decrease the cost of such equipments will presented.

A review will be carried out of the developments on Insertion Devices that have taken place world wide in the last few years. These include the development of long period electro-magnet undulators, the operational results of a number of Apple-II undulators, the development of superconducting short period multipole wigglers, as well as the construction and operation of several in-vacuum undulators. The construction of a large number of competitive middle energy synchrotron sources in the hard X-ray range means that the need to increase the photon energy in the fundamental peak of an undulator is becoming a very important issue. Two main development strategies are currently being investigated. One consists of using superconducting undulator technology, the other of a further refinement of the in-vacuum undulator permanent magnet technology with cryogenic cooling of the magnetic assembly. The issues and challenges that are part of each approach will be presented, together with the latest results.
