  The antiProton Unstable Matter Annihilation experiment (PUMA) at CERN aims at
investigating the nucleon composition in the matter density tail of radioactive
as well as stable isotopes by use of low-energy antiproton-nucleon annihilation
processes. For this purpose, antiprotons provided by the Extra Low ENergy
Antiproton (ELENA) facility will be trapped together with the ions of interest.
While exotic ions will be obtained by the Isotope mass Separator On-Line DEvice
(ISOLDE), stable ions will be delivered from an offline ion source setup
designed for this purpose. This allows the proposed technique to be applied to
a variety of stable nuclei and for reference measurements. For beam
purification, the ion source setup includes a multi-reflection time-of-flight
mass spectrometer (MR-ToF MS). Supported by SIMION simulations, an earlier
MR-ToF MS design has been modified to meet the requirements of PUMA. During
commissioning of the new MR-ToF device with Ar$^+$ ions, mass resolving powers
in excess of 50,000 have been obtained after 150 revolutions, limited by the
chopping of the continuous beam from an electron impact ionisation source.
