Y, XY, XYZ and XYZT motion

Many vacuum applications such as sample transfer, beamline diagnostic positioning and sample positioning for analysis require precise manipulation along Y or XYZ axes.

UHV Design provides a field-proven range of precise manipulators that can be used in isolation or combined with linear shift mechanisms and magnetically coupled rotary drives to build sophisticated manipulators with up to six axes of independent motion.

Single Axis Manipulator | Y-shift

Linear Displacement Mechanisms (Y-Shifts) provide accurate, repeatable axial alignment on the Y-axis up to +/-31mm .

Basic XY Aligner | XYA

The XYA provides basic X & Y manipulation with +/-10mm for low duty-cycle applications where high precision and motorisation are not required.
