Widebore Omniax Manipulator
The Wide Bore Omniax was designed to be used with large cryostat cold fingers on DN100 flange. The larger top section of the in vacuum part of the cryostat cold finger fits into the 100mm Clear Bore Z bellows. The X and Y table is designed to take a cryostat which normally would have it’s own support tube of 54 mm. This gives you the maximum of ±25 mm of travel.
Omniax Dual Bellows Manipulator
The Omniax manipulator is a fully UHV compatible double bellows manipulator with large probe capacity. It uses the unique VACGEN hinged flange and guided support tube to eliminate deflection due to vacuum loading providing extreme stability. It’s rigidity makes it ideal for long travels, multiple rotations, specimen security and capacity for feedthroughs
Triax Manipulator
A large clear bore manipulator with single bellows and a compact envelope easing integration into Ultra-High Vacuum systems. The universal orientation and small footprint of the Triax allows for the end-user to make better use of the air-side chamber space.
Transax Dual Bellows Manipulator
The Transax is a fully UHV compatible double bellows manipulator, which is stable and versatile. It has a long travel range and is compatible with standard VACGEN sample handling equipment and rotary drive modules. Combines linear Z slide with an XY table bolted together to give a rigid interface for sample handling.
HPT Single Bellows Manipulator
The HPT High Precision manipulator is a simple, cost effective, single bellows, translator designed as a small compact and light manipulator platform. The wide bore of the HPT allows probe diameters of up to 19mm with full vectorial movement of +/- 12.5mm and can be fully motorised.
Miniax Manipulator
The Miniax XYZ manipulator offers a source of simple, low cost, manually driven manipulation. The single bellows construction makes it easy to use in any orientation. Despite the simple construction of the manipulator, the Miniax has good precision and is fully UHV compatible.
The Omniax XY module is designed as a standalone single edge welded bellows module which is compatible with Omniax linear shift mechanisms (Z axis) and Rotating platforms such as the RP100, allowing a complete sample manipulator to be created by adding these modules together.
The Transax XY module is designed as a standalone single edge welded bellows module which is compatible with Transax linear shift mechanisms (Z axis) and Rotating platforms such as the RP100, allowing a complete sample manipulator to be created by adding these sections together.

The Triax multi-axes sample manipulator is used for positioning a sample under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions. The wide bore allows 19mm OD instruments to have full vectoral travel and owing to the design, all axes can be fully motorised with digital read out available. The universal orientation and small footprint allows for the end-user to make better use of the air-side chamber space.
Motor Controller will suit all the standard motorisation offer by VACGEN. This is a rack mounted 3U 1/3rd single axis controller with a robust long life design. This comes with a simple software package, which when purchased with a motorised component, will be a plug and play out of the box. The unit can be used in either open or closed loop (Encoder) configuration. We also offer a full range of cables and optional extras.
