Micrometer Slide Micromanipulator

The M325 three-axis man­u­al mi­cro­ma­n­ip­u­la­tor is built of preci­sion mi­crome­ter-ac­tu­at­ed lin­ear slides. Each slide is com­prised of a large microme­ter head and a spring-return linear slide. The mi­cro­ma­n­ip­u­la­tor was designed to min­i­mize wear in the moving components to achieve a long op­er­a­tion­al life without the necessity for fre­quent main­te­nance. The mi­crome­ter head is grad­u­at­ed in 10 µm steps which enable re­peat­able po­si­tion­ing to an ac­cu­ra­cy of ± 2 µm.

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 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 12.7mm 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 to allow several units to be positioned in close proximity. A quick-release clamp allows easy mounting onto any rod from 10 mm to 12.7mm diameter.
