  The successful mechatronics development i.e. modelling, simulation, design, build and test of a magnetic levitation stage at the Diamond Light Source is presented. The concept was to use a low control Bandwidth across the 6 degree of freedom MIMO system, to provide both an alignment stage and vibration isolation. The project simultaneously upskilled staff and developed a proof-of-concept system demonstrator at a low cost. The final motion stage was constructed for a component cost of less than £15,000.
