The MX130-H Manipulator is designed to maximize available space.  The narrow profile design allows multiple manipulators to be placed in one quadrant.
   The MX130-H provides 38mm coarse and 5mm fine positioning travel in the X-axis.  Two-and-a-half turns of the coarse adjustment knob will fully retract the device in the X-axis. In addition the MX130-H has been fitted with the MX610 single-axis hydraulic manipulator.
   Y- and Z-axis adjustments are accomplished with the fine adjustment screws mounted on the back of the device.  Additionally the Z-axis adjustment screw may be configured with the knob on the top or the bottom, whichever provides the best access.  The device angle is easily set by loosening the locking screw.
   The RTC-0.5 mounting base provides coarse rotational positioning and flexible mounting options of either base or post support.  left or right hand models allow additional flexibility to suit the application.
   The extra length dovetail stage of the X-axis combined with the spring-loaded pivot mechanism (pat.# 6590723) of the other two axes allow for a high level of stability.  This allows for smooth and precise adjustments.
   This combination enables the experimenter to use the fine positioning accuracy of the dovetail stage to get close to the desired location and then use the submicron resolution of the hydraulic stage to make the final adjustment.
