  The ISAC facility at TRIUMF produces stable and radioactive ion beams in a wide range of intensities and energies. The beam diagnostics was designed to support the beam delivery in every possible operating regime. Thus, the time-of-flight system is capable of measuring the beam velocity with accuracy of better than 0.1% at beam intensities from 1011 down to ~ 104 ions per second. It consists of three high resolution timing secondary electron emission monitors and has been in operation since 2006. Recently all three monitors were rebuilt with the aim to facilitate monitor alignment with respect to the beam. The system was also equipped with an UV laser that allows perform an accurate absolute calibration and monitor tuning with no beam present.
