Micrometer Slide Micromanipulator

The M325 three-axis fine-controlled manual micromanipulator has been built from precision micrometer actuated linear slides. Each slide is comprised of a micrometer head and a magnetic linear slide. The micromanipulator has been carefully designed to minimize wear in the moving components to achieve a long operational life without the necessity for frequent maintenance or adjustment. The M325 is supplied as standard with two 15 mm actuators for x and y movement, and one micrometer head for 25 mm z movement. The micrometer head is graduated in 10 micron steps which enable repeatable positioning to an accuracy of ± 2 microns.

A unique spring return mechanism is used to transmit movement of the micrometer spindle to the slide carriage -- eliminating backlash, lost motion and reducing thread wear. Each linear slide utilizes ball bearings and a spring return mechanism which enable the M325 to carry loads of up to 1 kg.

The tool holder can clamp onto tools with shaft diameters of 3.0 mm to 12.7 mm and allows rotation around two axes. This provides a wide range of options for incorporating the manipulator into your workstations. The M325 can also be configured very easily in left or right-handed versions.

The M325 is supplied with a clamp for mounting onto 12 mm rod (not visible in photo). The M325 can also be mounted onto the M3 tilting base.
