Probe Positioners that Meet Your Needs, Budget & Preferences

Wafer Probe Station
The Micromanipulator Company is the go-to place for state-of-the-art design, test and manufacturing capabilities and proudly produces a wide range of probe stations, accessories, and consumables at our Carson City, Nevada headquarters.  Among our exceptional line of analytical tools, we offer system users a selection of quality probe positioners (manipulators) designed to meet your application demands, budget needs and personal preferences.  Starting with our more basic models to our most versatile “WAVE” probe positioners, we guarantee you will get the highest stability available on the market.  All of our models feature direct leadscrew lead nut drives as well as ergonomic designs.

One example is our Model 425 that offers a compact footprint and is left/right hand neutral for placement on left and right sides of the prober.  Designed for setups that require flexibility and for probing geometries less than <1-micron targets, it comes with a choice of a vacuum or magnetic base. 

If you are looking for efficiency and flexibility, we recommend the Model 525 / 2525 series probe positioners with an adjustable nose piece.  This too is designed for geometries of < 1-micron.  Equipped with fine controls that are in-line and easily accessible from the rear of the manipulator, the nose piece includes a convenient “Quick Z” feature for fast adjustment in the Z-axis.  Our “Wave” series manipulators feature X-Y and Z leadscrew lead nut controls plus theta and planarity controls for alignment of microwave, multi-probe or mini-probe cards (such as Celadon’s “Versa Tile” and coplanar probes). 

Please visit our website to view our entire inventory of probe positioners and other products.  We have an engineer available for an online “Chat” during business hours or give us a call for more information.  While we have been around for decades, Micromanipulator’s products have grown with the industry and we plan to continue to serve the needs of our customers far into the future.  Contact us for more. 

Micromanipulator not only invented analytical probing in 1956 but we are leaders in the field and reliably deliver the tools and life cycle support the semi-conductor industry depends on.

Shop the Most Reliable Selection of Semi-automatic Probe Stations

Wafer Probes
Each and every one of The Micromanipulator Company’s probe stations fills a special niche for our customers’ needs.   This includes our selection of semi-automatic probe stations, which include the P200L (200mm), P300L (300mm), and P300A (300mm). 

The P200L 200mm semi-automatic is the station of choice for high performance, full capability and cost-effectiveness.  Standard features on the reliable, precision-engineered P200L include single-point ground and integrated thermal chuck plumbing with a leadscrew-leadnut stage and platen drives, and a stainless steel platen with a removable front wedge.  To ensure its versatility in a variety of applications, the P200L can be configured with a local dry/ shielded / dark environment as well as “Top Hat” for low level or low temperature, frost free probing.  It supports three temperature ranges: ambient to 400C; OC to 400C; and -65C to 400C.  The Micromanipulator’s P300L 300mm semi-automatic is very similar and is low current ready.  Both probe stations have comprehensive accessory support and are field upgradable with hot and cold thermal chucks.  

The other semi-automatic in our inventory is the model P300A, which is the highest performing 300mm for low current, sub-micron and temperature probing on the market.  The stable, reliable prober comes with a comprehensive software suite and is space efficient.  As does the P300L, it too features single-point ground, dry/dark environment and integrated thermal chuck plumbing

Our quality accessories include thermal chucks, probe holders and a full range of probe positioners (manipulators) to meet any budget or performance requirements from economy models to our multi-versatile WAVE probe positioners.  See our website for specifications and features of our semiautomatic, manual, and motorized probe stations as well as our full line of accessories.  During business hours, our website is staffed by one of our engineers on a live chat line.   

Micromanipulator not only invented analytical probing in 1956 but we are leaders in the field and reliably deliver the tools and life cycle support the semi-conductor industry depends on.
