4-6 Axes LHe Manipulators Open Cycle
Spectroscopy UHV manipulators with heating and LHe cooling (open cycle) possibility. It is a highly precise and highly rigid UHV specimen manipulator with modular construction, suitable for a range of X, Y, Z linear motions and R1, R2, R3 rotations. Modular construction means that the specification can be upgraded or modified by the addition or replacement of well-defined modules.
Manufacturer
Prevac
Prevac are a world leader in the design and production of analytical and deposit scientific and research equipment. Their systems operate in a high and ultra high vacuum environment. They design and construct UHV and HV systems fully adapted to the individual requirements of research projects and industrial applications.
Heating/cooling
Sample temperature depend on sample holder type:
- Direct heating with 10 A,
- Resistive heating up to 1100 °C,
- EB heating up to 1400 °,
- Liquid helium cooling:
– 4 axes manipulator – down to 4 K*
– 5 axes manipulator – down to 4.8 K* / 10 K**
– 6 axes manipulator – down to 7 K* / 15 K**
* Parameters achieved without heating option and temperature stabilisation.
** Parameters achieved with heating option.
