XYZ Manipulators, Dual Bellow
Dual bellows manipulators have separate bellows to enable the XY and Z motions. This means they are better suited to larger base flanges above DN100CF, and particularly well suited to applications where a long Z travel is needed, although short travel versions are also possible. As a consequence of the XY bellows being larger than the one for Z, the insert size is limited by the Z bellows diameter and the inner diameter of the corresponding support bearing. The narrower Z bellows also means that the internal surface area is significantly lower than an equivalent single bellows solution. The XY stage in a dual bellows manipulator is always at the base flange side which also gives improved rigidity and stability.

XYZ Manipulators, Dual Bellow
Dual bellows manipulators have separate bellows to enable the XY and Z motions.

As a consequence of the XY bellows being larger than the one for Z, the insert size is limited by the Z bellows diameter and the inner diameter of the corresponding support bearing.

Key Features
- Complimentary range of sample stages available with optional heating and cooling
- Base flange sizes from DN100CF to DN250CF
- Moving flange DN40CF-DN160CF
- XY travels either +/-12.5mm or +/-25mm depending on model
- Z travels from 50-1000mm depending on model
- Motorisation is available for Z axis only or all three axes
- Additional rotation stage can be added
When selecting an XYZ manipulator, it is important to consider:
- Mounting flange
- Mounting orientation
- Whether manual or motorised operation is needed.
- Requirements for electrical wiring
- How much movement is needed in all the axes
- The sample holder solution and its orientation
