Choice of Reliable Manipulators for Any Testing Need

Among our impressive line of wafer probe stations, probe holders, probe tips and accessories, we offer a range of smartly-designed manipulators (probe positioners) to meet your testing needs as well as your preference and budget.  All of Micromanipulator’s probe positioners feature direct leadscrew/leadnut drives, ergonomic design and provide the user with the highest stability. In addition regardless of which one you chose, they offer seamless system integration with the probe station of your choice. 

Our Model 425 Manipulator provides system users with a compact footprint and fine, in-line controls that are easily accessible from the rear of the manipulator to make it left/right hand neutral.  The 425 also offers true linear motion and is recommended for probing < 1-micron targets. It is available in a vacuum base (comes with 12″ vacuum tube and connector) or magnetic base. 

Micromanipulator’s 450 / 550 Series High or Low Profile Manipulators come in a variety of choices such as left or right hand versions with XYZ controls forward facing when placed on corresponding side of the probing setup.  They are also available is a choice of vacuum base or magnetic base as well as in a low profile model. The 450 / 550 manipulators are recommended for probing < 1-micron targets and have a 100 TPI XYZ drive. 

Our top-of –the-line choice is the 525 / 2525 Manipulators with Adjustable Nose Piece.  The manipulator provides users with true linear motion along with the “Quick-Z” feature, which quickly lifts & lowers probes.  The nose piece is fully adjustable both in rotation and height. Again you have the choice of a left or right hand model and a vacuum or magnetic base.  The 525 / 2525 manipulators are recommended for probing < 1-micron geometries.

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.  Please contact us to learn more about our wide range of wafer probe stations, accessories and consumables.

Consumables Designed by the Experts

The Micromanipulator Company is pleased to offer our customers not only the best line-up of premium wafer probe stations but one of the most comprehensive selections of consumables on the market.  This range of products allows you to outfit your new probe station to suit both your personal preferences and application or equipment interface requirements as well as stay within budget.

As we have been in the industry for over 60 years, we have learned a thing or two about analytical probing; and right from the start, we have listened closely to our customers in order to develop products that meet their needs.  To ensure optimal performance of our equipment, our consumables include a wide selection of probe holders such as active probe holders and high frequency probe holders as well as ones with integrated tips.  We also carry probe tips in a range of materials and sizes. 

Our Model 72 Series Probe Holders have a malleable 1-4” shaft and a set screw probe tip holder.  They are designed to work with all Micromanipulator manipulators (order separately) and 7-series tips, which are also sold separately.  The 72 series’ lead wire terminates in a circular eye connector with an approximately 1/16 inch (1.6mm) hole for connection to measurement instruments.  The malleable shaft lets you shape it as needed. If you need another length other than the 1 to 4” size available on online, please email us.  

Our 79 Series Coaxial Probe Holders are a coaxially shielded probe holder, which is ideal for measurements of high frequency or low level signals.  They offer a 30″ long signal wire with male coaxial connector for connection to measurement instruments and come in total body lengths of 1-7/8” or 3-1/8”.

Micromanipulator’s 79-6000-TD-03 Kelvin Triaxial Probe Holders have a two tubular body construction that is perfect for applications where platen space is at a premium and contact space is difficult or limited.  The probe holder’s single point eliminates the problem of planarity and contact uniformity as well as the need and expense of two probe holders and two manipulators. Please see our website for more information on our full line of probe holders and probe tips. 


At Micromanipulator, we not only invented analytical probing in 1956 but are still the top name in the field.  As such we reliably deliver the tools and life cycle support the semiconductor industry depends on. A key part of our company’s philosophy and what drives our success is an unfaltering commitment to customers’ satisfaction.  Please contact us to find out more about our exceptional selection of wafer probe stations, accessories and consumables.
