Products \ Radial Telescopic Transfer Arms \ 3-axis Rotary Telescopic Transfer Arm

The 3-axis RTTA provides 360° rotation, 760mm linear extension and 50mm Z motion to provide arm lift and lower to aid sample transfer. Typically <1mm deflection at full arm extension with 10N load. Linear reproducibility of <0.2mm and rotational reproducibility of <0.2mm. Motorisation options available.
 

The 3-axis RTTA provides a cost-effective radial distribution sample transfer solution for applications that require arm rotation, arm extension and arm lift and lower for sample transfer.

Key features

  • 760mm extension 
  • Typically <1mm deflection at full extension under 10N load
  • Rotational reproducibility <0.2mm
  • Linear reproducibility <0.2mm
  • Clean, UHV performance
  • Competitively priced compared to conventional designs

A high torque magnetically-coupled MagiDrive provides arm rotation to align with the desired chamber port.  A second MagiDrive is used to drive the innovative telescopic mechanism to provide an arm extension of 760mm to transport the sample in and out of the desired satellite chamber. 

A linear shift mechanism is used to provide 50mm lift/lower of the sample arm for gravity based sample hand off, typically used on our MBE, sputtering and CVD sample manipulators and heating stages.


The 3-axis RTTA can be fully motorised using stepper or SMART motors. Alternatively the RTTA can be configured to accept any standard NEMA23 frame motor.
