Sample Shuttle System

XYZ Chamber Shuttle

The MX100S is ideal for experiments where removal of the sample chamber needs to be done repeatedly. The upper Y-axis stage uses our 400cr stage with our Lt-series long-travel adjustment screws. These adjustment screws use a magnet stop-block (pat. pend.) that keeps the adjustment screw in contact while the stage is "in" position, allowing the user to fine adjust the Y-axis location as needed. To move the chamber "out" of the experimental area, simply slide the stage back to the opposite end of the stage travel and its coarse stop block contacts the magnet and holds the stage in place. Other chamber systems are post mounted and require you to rotate the chamber out of the system...this only works if you don't have any equipment on one or both sides! The modular design uses our 100cr crossed roller stages as the X- and Z-axis of this stable platform. We also use our rock-solid MGB-4.0Lp magnetic base to maximize holding force (300lbs) and maximize mounting flexibility. The MX-AB2 is used to connect the crossed roller stages and gives maximum height/orientation flexibility.
