For High Frequency Applications, Consider Our Exclusive “WAVE” Series

The Micromanipulator Company prides itself on offering our customers quality products that meet the needs of virtually every application as well as budget.  This includes designing and manufacturing a range of probe positioners/manipulators from an economy model for basic probing needs to our most versatile high-performance model, the WAVE series. 

Regardless of which model you choose, including our budget-wise Model 110, Micromanipulator’s probe positioners are designed to provide seamless system integration with any of our probe stations.   Each is stabilized by either a vacuum base or a magnetic base that sits on the probe station platen and supports the probe holder.  They are available in manual, motorized or programmable versions and guaranteed for 5-years.  Whether it’s an economy model or high-end, you will receive an ergonomic designed product that offers the highest stability on the market and direct leadscrew/leadnut drives. 

We recommend for high frequency applications that you take a look at one of our top-of-the-line multi-versatile “Wave” 100/200 series manipulators.  Available in multiple configurations, the positioner offers up to 200 GHz and comes in a choice of vacuum or magnetic bases to support and stabilize the probe holder.  The WAVE has theta and planarity controls for the alignment of microwave as well as a choice of multi-probe or mini-probe cards including Celadon’s “Versa Tile” and coplanar probes.  Its 5-axis control features X-Y and Z leadscrew-leadnut control. 

Micromanipulator’s WAVE positioners have a theta and planarity range of 4 degrees and provide a resolution of 40 TPI =1.7 µm with maximum travel of 12.7mm (0.5”) for each axis.  The PLF/PLS link arm is also adjustable up to 3 inches.

Most importantly regardless of which manipulator, probe station or accessories you decide to buy, Micromanipulator’s customers know they can trust us to stand behind our products.     Please see our website to learn more about our products or to order from our online store.
