  The continuous advances towards diffraction-limited synchrotron light sources and free electron laser facilities (FEL) require beamline components with ever-increasing optical and mechanical performance. Key aspects are the positional stability of the x-ray beam at the experiment and the quality of the installed optical elements. AXILON is a worldwide leading company providing state-of-the-art beamline equipment for high-end beamlines. In this poster we provide an overview of our recent achievements for beamline components. Results of our newest generation of cryo-cooled monochromators demonstrate ultimate performance achieving beam stabilities well below 50 nrad. Latest mirror systems, including mechanical benders, also achieve similar beam stabilities with the bending mechanism preserving the mirror quality with slope errors below 100nrad rms, even when bent to the final elliptical shape. Finally, we give an update on our achievements with X-ray microscopes providing design concepts and first test results of a new microscope for ptychography, with a targeted positioning stability of 1-2nm.
