Motion Controllers

Motion Controllers

At UHV Design, we offer 'plug & play' motion controllers for both DC and stepper motors. The DC motor controller offers simple, single-axis remote control of our manipulation products. Alternatively, the Multi-Axis Motor Controller (MASC) provides single and multiple axis control for stepper motorised manipulation products (including analytical & deposition stages).

Sample Transfer Arms

Sample Transfer Arms

PowerProbe sample transfer arms are designed to enable the secure transfer of samples within UHV. This is due to the unrivalled strength of their magnetic coupling. In addition to linear and linear/rotary probes, this extensive range includes the Elevating PowerProbe and the Dual-Axis PowerProbe. These are designed to transfer specific industry-standard sample holders using a variety of actuation methods.
Wobble Sticks

Wobble Sticks

The UHV Design wobble stick is a slimline modular concept, benefiting from high-power magnetic coupling technology. The coupling eliminates the need for long edge-welded bellows stacks - typically found in conventional wobble stick designs. Crucially, this reduces the risk of leaks - particularly for deposition applications, e.g, MBE. In these applications, particulates or deposition between bellows convolutions can reduce lifetimes or cause immediate failure.

We have a range of Wobble Sticks specifically designed for common VT-SPM systems.
Y, XY, XYZ & XYZT Motion

Y, XY, XYZ & XYZT Motion

Many vacuum applications such as sample transfer, beamline diagnostic positioning and sample positioning for analysis require precise manipulation along Y or XYZ axes.

That’s why UHV Design provides a field-proven range of precise manipulators that can be used in isolation or combined with linear shift mechanisms and magnetically coupled rotary drives. Consequently, this facilitates the build of sophisticated manipulators with up to six axes of independent motion.
