A simple sample‐changing robot for combinatorial studies using grazing‐incidence X‐ray scattering has been designed, built and commissioned. The robot can be conveniently loaded with up to 20 samples. Use of the robot cuts down significantly on the time needed to access and interlock the beamline hutch. The robot was successfully employed by user groups at the CHESS D1 station.
