<strong>Rotatable</strong> <strong>Axis</strong> <strong>MultiBase</strong> Manipulator<br />

Y, <strong>XY</strong>, <strong>XY</strong>Z <strong>and</strong> <strong>Sample</strong> <strong>Manipulators</strong><br />
The <strong>Rotatable</strong> <strong>Axis</strong> <strong>MultiBase</strong> X-Y manipulator<br />
enables the X <strong>and</strong> Y axes to be rotated about the<br />
axis of the manipulator, whilst under vacuum, such<br />
that they can be aligned precisely with a particular<br />
port axis on a chamber. This is a unique feature for<br />
X-Y manipulators, developed by UHV Design.<br />
The feature is particularly useful when using<br />
techniques where focusing is absolutely critical, <strong>and</strong><br />
the user wants to move the sample along the axis of<br />
a gun or lens, etc. mounted on ports which are not<br />
exactly parallel or perpendicular to the manipulator<br />
axes.<br />
Using the <strong>Rotatable</strong> <strong>Axis</strong> <strong>MultiBase</strong>, the sample can<br />
be precisely moved along the axis of any port until<br />
optimum focusing is achieved. It can then be moved<br />
orthogonally to explore other areas of the sample,<br />
without losing focus.<br />
A conventional X-Y stage would require repeated ‘step’ movements in the X <strong>and</strong> Y axes to reach a specifi c<br />
location, followed by further ‘stepping’ motions on each axis to travel along the desired path/angle. The<br />
<strong>Rotatable</strong> <strong>Axis</strong> <strong>MultiBase</strong> removes this requirement, greatly simplifying positioning <strong>and</strong> focusing tasks.<br />
Note:- the top <strong>and</strong> base fl anges do not rotate with respect to one another, but rather the manipulator mechanism<br />
<strong>and</strong> actuators are rotated around the fl anges. Using the <strong>Rotatable</strong> <strong>Axis</strong> <strong>MultiBase</strong> manipulator together with<br />
z-shifts, rotary drives <strong>and</strong> other UHV Design sample h<strong>and</strong>ling options, a complete truly UHV eucentric stage<br />
can be assembled for the fi rst time, without resorting to using a sliding seal or differentially pumped rotary<br />
housing. See page 116 - 121 for complete sample stage solutions.<br />
