Discover the Industry’s Best Semi-automatic Probe Stations

In business for over 60 years, Micromanipulator has had the privilege to experience as well as to pioneer many of the evolving changes in the industry.  Through the decades we have continued to design, engineer and manufacture tools that meet the need of the industry and are proud to offer the finest selection of probe stations on the market.    

For example, Micromanipulator’s semi-automatic probe stations are designed for a wide range of testing applications and offer innovative features not found in other manufacturers’ products.  Starting with our P200L (200mm) and P200A (200mm) semi-automatic probe stations right through to our P300L (300mm) and P300A (300mm) semi-automatics; our customers have some great choices.   

Our P200A and P200L are ideal for low current, sub-micron positioning applications and provide a stable, intuitive, and versatile semi-automatic performance.  The probe stations are loaded with standard features including a single-point ground, integrated thermal chuck plumbing, and dry/dark environment.   Offering both reliability and precision, the P200s also provide system users a closed-loop operation with massive stage and platen drives, a harmonic theta drive and a robust chuck mount. 

We are proud to report that the P300A probe station has earned a reputation as the most stable, intuitive, and space efficient 300mm semi-automatic analytical probe station available anywhere.  It too is loaded with lots of standard features and is designed for low current, sub-micron positioning applications.

Probe Positioners (Manipulators) Designed for High Frequency Applications

The manipulator is designed to support the probe holder and it is stabilized by either a vacuum base or magnetic base.   At Micromanipulator our probe positioners are available in manual, motorized or programmable versions and they all come with a 5-year warranty.   

Among our selection of high-quality manipulators is the multi-versatile “Wave” 100/200 series that provides 200 GHz and is stabilized by a choice of vacuum or magnetic bases.   The exclusive Wave positioner is designed for high frequency applications and we offer several configurations.  The 5-axis control features X-Y and Z leadscrew-leadnut control as well as theta and planarity controls for alignment of microwave, multi-probe or mini-probe cards including Celadon’s “Versa Tile” and coplanar probes.   

Our innovative WAVE positioners provide a resolution of 40 TPI =1.7 µm with maximum travel of 12.7mm (0.5”) for each axis.  Furthermore, they offer a theta and planarity range of 4 degrees.  The height of the PLF/PLS link arms is adjustable up to 3 inches (arms are purchased separately) and provide theta and planarity. 

If you do not require the high frequency capability of the WAVE positioner, you may want to consider our budget-friendly, Model 110 manipulator.  The mini-arc styled probe positioner features a resolution of 32 threads per inch (TPI) of 2.2 µm and a 10 mm maximum travel for each axis.  Micromanipulator’s probe positioners all feature direct leadscrew/leadnut drives, ergonomic design and the highest stability.  In addition the entire line provides seamless system integration with any of our probe stations.   

Many of our manipulators as well as probe tips, probe holders and more may now be purchased directly through our new ecommerce store.  Please see our website for more information. 

Micromanipulator not only invented analytical probing in 1956 but we remain the leading name in the field.  As such we reliably deliver the tools and life cycle support the semiconductor industry depends on.  As part of our company’s philosophy and what drives our success is an unfaltering commitment to customers’ satisfaction.  We invite you to contact us to find out more about our wide range of probe stations, accessories and consumables.
