Elevating PowerProbe (EPP Series)

Elevating PowerProbe Series

• Linear motion with ‘elevation’
• 12.7mm (or 25.4mm) lift throughout stroke
• 10 x the thrust of conventional probes
• Fully bakeable to 250oC
• Adjustable stop collar

 

The Elevating PowerProbe transforms conventional approaches to sample transfer. In addition to its internally guided linear motion, the probe has the ability to elevate its end effector throughout its stroke, providing 12.7mm (or 25.4mm) of lift in the Y axis for sample hand-off.

This PowerProbe variant greatly simplifies sample transfer techniques, providing a single device to provide both linear motion for sample introduction and the lift/lower motion to collect or hand-off the sample. 

Essentially the Elevating PowerProbe provides a complete sample handling system in its own right removing the need for secondary motion tools. This in turn reduces cost and simplifies the transfer process itself. For additional flexibility, automated transfer or increased ‘Y’ motion.

Sample weight / load capacity

Maximum recommended internal load carrying capacity will be a function of probe extension, but we recommend not to exceed a moment of 20Nm for the probe itself. Please note that a maximum cantilevered load of 0.5Nm on the elevating plate is specified. See Technical Data for deflection versus load graph.

Pressure range Atmosphere to 5x10-11 mbar
Bakeout temperature Bakeable to 250oC without the removal of any components.
Position locking Thumbscrew
