Multi-versatile WAVE Manipulator

Among our impressive line of probe positioners that range from the budget-wise Model 110 to medium priced models with 7 possible set up and positioning adjustments, we offer our multi-versatile WAVE manipulator.  All of Micromanipulator’s probe positioners feature direct leadscrew/leadnut drives, ergonomic design and the highest stability.  Also regardless of which one you eventually choose, they offer seamless system integration with the probe station of your choice. 

Our high-quality “Wave” 100/200 series manipulators are available in multiple configurations and are designed for high frequency applications.  The probe positioner provides up to 200 GHz and is stabilized by your choice of vacuum or magnetic bases that are used to support the probe holder. 

The 5-axis control features X-Y and Z leadscrew-leadnut control along with theta and planarity controls for alignment of microwave, multi-probe or mini-probe cards including Celadon’s “Versa Tile” and coplanar probes.   The WAVE positioners offer a resolution of 40 TPI =1.7 µm with maximum travel of 12.7mm (0.5”) for each axis.  Furthermore, they have a theta and planarity range of 4 degrees.  The PLF/PLS link arm is adjustable up to 3 inches.

Along with our selection of probe positioners, Micromanipulator also designs, tests and manufactures a full range of probe holders.  Our customers know they can trust us to produce probe holders that not only meet measurement equipment interface requirements and application demands but also personal preferences and budget considerations.  Expertly designed holders are available with a choice of pin jack, spring load, or set screw tip insertion.  Also to ensure we can meet all test requirements, we offer single wire, coaxial, triaxial, coplanar, certified triax or Kelvin configurations.  Please see our website or contact us 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.
