The Omniax is our flagship manipulator, designed for high resolution & repeatability. This manipulator is extremely rigid and can take up to a 20kg payload capacity. For more information visit the product page.

We have an assembly guide to explain how to replace your worm and wheel drive on your current manipulator. Please download the assembly guide here.

All our sample manipulators will require a service after a number of years.

It's great to keep your product in top shape by either contacting us for an RMA to return the product for a paid service. Or if you want to do some maintenance in the lab, download the Omniax Operating Instructions for how to maintain your manipulator. If you have any specific questions which are not included in the manual, please contact sales@vacgen.com.

The material for your chamber will depend on your specific application. Mu-metal is commonly used for electron spectroscopy applications to minimise external magnetic interference which can distort the trajectories of electron leading to inaccuracies in spectroscopy measurements. VACGEN typically manufacture vacuum chambers in 304/316 LN stainless steel, aluminium and mu-metal. Contact one of our engineers today <ahref="mailto:sales@vacgen.com">sales@vacgen.com for design assistance.
