EpiCentre 100 UHV manipulator series |
|
|
|
As each application demands differing
capabilities, the EpiCentre 100 series was developed in a modular
fashion, enabling users to select from a variety of modules to suit
their specific needs. This modular design enables the 100 series to
provide both sophisticated multi-axis control, for production
requirements, or simple hand wheel operated manipulation for cost
effective research and development applications.
