4-5 axes LN<sub>2</sub> manipulators for flag holders
Manipulator with LN2 cooling for flag style sample holders allows for many possibilities of station development in terms of the number of holders, various heating methods, and many useful options. This, combined with a wide range of different flag holder types, makes this manipulator station very versatile.
Modular construction means that the specification can be upgraded or modified by the addition or replacement of well-defined modules. All axes of the manipulator are motorised by stepper motors or servomotors. The X, Y, and Z axes may also be operated manually by as required. The standard mounting flange is DN 100CF or DN 160CF. The 4-5* axes manipulator is a combination of XY stage, Z slide and rotation stages.
* 6 axes manipulator for PTS sample holders on request.
