4-6 axes LHe manipulators (open cycle)

Spectroscopy UHV manipulators with heating and LHe cooling (open cycle) possibility.

It is a highly precise and highly rigid UHV specimen manipulator with modular construction, suitable for a range of X, Y, Z linear motions and R1, R2, R3 rotations. Modular construction means that the specification can be upgraded or modified by the addition or replacement of well-defined modules.
