The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) and the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at ORNL have a total of 35 neutron beam lines with numerous motors for mo-tion control. The motion systems vary in complexity from a linear sample positioning stage to multi-axis end stations. To enhance the capabilities of these motion systems, a concerted effort has been made to establish standardized hardware and flexible software that improve performance, increase reliability and provide the capability for automated experiments. The report discusses the various motion controllers used, the EPICS-based IOCs (Input Output Controllers), high-level motion software, and plans for ongoing upgrades and new projects.
