Description

The Manipulator is a high precision, high rigidity, UHV specimen manipulator of modular construction, suitable for a range of X, Y and Z linear motions and R1, R2 and R3 rotations. The modular construction means that the specification can be upgraded or modified by the addition or replacement of well defined modules.

Application

The 6 Axes Manipulators are used for manipulating of sample holders and scientific tools with respect to a sample's position. These manipulators, when combined with sample holders mounted on rotary drives, allow precise placement and manipulation of samples in UHV environments. The manipulator itself moves the sample on three orthogonal axes,X, Y, and Z while a rotary drives provides rotation R1, R2 and R3 around Z and Y axes. The manipulator has exellent cooling system to work liquid nitrogen or liquid helium. They can work in any orientation.

Additional information

The 6 Axes Manipulators have the Sample Receiving Stations on the Vacuum Parts of Manipulator for holding sample holders. The station is equipped with electrical contacts (2 pcs thermocouple type K, C or E, 2 pcs sample potential up to 1000V, 2 pcs heating current up to 20A) and cooling contact (Cool Finger), for liquid nitrogen or helium cooling. The manipulator has all necessary electrical, gas, mechanical feedthroughs, tubes, cables and electronic devices for motorized X, Y, Z, R1, R3 and R3 axes. The Stepper Motor Shift for Z Slide is controlled by an electronic device SMCD20. The Stepper Motor Shifts for XY Stage and R1, R2 axes are controlled by electronic device SMCD10.

Motorized axes of manipulator are controled with PREVAC manipulator control software.
