Probe Positioners for Any Budget or Performance Requirement

By designing and manufacturing a wide range of probe positioners, Micromanipulator makes it simple to find the perfect tool to meet not only your personal preference and application demands but your budget as well.  Our probe positioners are all ergonomically designed and feature direct lead screw-lead nut drives.  In addition they have a reputation in the industry for offering the highest stability available on the market.

An example of one of our most economical manipulators is the Model 110, which offers a low acquisition cost and small footprint designed specifically for easy placement.  The Model 110/210 is a mini-arc style with a resolution of 32 threads per inch (TPI) = 2.2 µm and 10 mm (0.4”) maximum travel along each axis.

We are extremely proud of the industry leading flexibility and performance of our medium range 450/450 probe positioners.  These excellent manipulators offer the user a choice of seven possible setup options and positioning adjustments. 

Our premium “Wave” series manipulators feature X-Y and Z lead screw-lead nut control plus theta and planarity controls for alignment of microwave, multi-probe or mini-probe cards (such as Celadon’s“ Versa Tile”).  The Wave series has a resolution of 40 TPI =1.7 µm and 12.7mm (0.5”) maximum travel along each axis.  The Theta and Planarity range is 4 degrees. 

All of our probe positioners are stabilized by a vacuum or magnetic base used to support the probe holder.  To ensure that different probe holder shanks can be firmly attached to the manipulator, we include collet shafts with our probe positioners and the appropriate collet with our probe holders.  The wide range of manual, motorized or programmable probe positioners we manufacture allow our customers to find just what they need. 

With 60 years of experience in the field of analytic probing, we have made it part of our business to listen and learn from customers and to design products that meet their needs.  Please visit our website or contact us to learn more about the Full Life-Cycle Support we offer that starts at the concept and continues right through to maintaining your system.
