HPT UHV Sample Manipulator

Ultra High Vacuum Manipulator

The HPT is a high precision customisable sample manipulator, designed on a compact footprint. Situated on a 152mm OD CF base flange, the design offers space for up to 4 feedthroughs and liquid nitrogen cooling options. The wide bore of the HPT allows probe diameters up to 19mm OD with full vectoral movement ±12.5mm and owing to the design all axes can be fully motorised. A precision tilt adaptor is also available on request, offering the user flexibility in the modular components.
