Ask About Special Packaged Discounts on Mechatronics

The Micromanipulator Company has always been quick to respond to the varying needs of our customers.  One of those moves was to introduce our Mechatronics brand a few years ago as a way to answer the needs of those who do not require the most cutting-edge tools but rather looking for a reliable, low-cost probe station for basic probing applications.  We think Mechatronics ACE does just that as it not only leverages the extensive expertise of the Micromanipulator brand but ideally meets many of our customers’ research and budget needs.  

The ACE is sold in discounted pre-configured packages that include single wire, coaxial and triaxial configurations.  Its footprint is compact at just 22” wide by 24” in depth and weighs in at a solid 150lbs with vibration dampening feet that ensures the best isolation in its class.  With stage controls on the station exterior to avoid the probes and your test, its stage is vacuum stabilized and platen has space for 10 manipulators.  

Some of the accessories for the Mechatronics ACE prober include a choice of a left or right magnetic based manipulator / probe positioner; and a trinocular scope with a magnification range of 10.5X-67.5X and an LED ring light with intensity control.  We also offer a solid brass probe holder with 4″ malleable center section, and ACE cameras designed for seamless integration.  And don’t forget about our probe tips available with a bendable shank and tip that are ideal for general purpose probing.

ACE probe stations are competitively priced and in stock for fast delivery.  In addition please contact us to learn about Specially-priced Package Discounts on our Mechatronics probe stations.  Please visit our website to learn more; and we look forward to finding you the best products for your needs.

One example of Micromanipulator’s leading-edge tools are our thermal chucks that offer the broadest temperature ranges and most advanced non-operator dependent performance in the industry.  Our exclusive H1000 Hot Chuck system offers configurations for: 

• Coaxial

• Triaxial

• High Power

• Ambient to 400°C

• 0° to 400° C

• -65° to 400° C

• Probe station or stand alone

• Host programmable

In addition the H1000 system has the best planarity at temperature and a sputter platinum surface that provides superior electrical conductivity to sample backsides.  This means thermal expansion isn’t an issue as the sputtered surface mimic’s the base material.  Moreover the base has a 2X stronger bond than traditional plating and is 2Xs more planar than traditional plating. Other features include the best isolation at temperature and fast ramp rate.  With field upgradeable configurations, it allows you to get what you need now and upgrade later.  In addition the exclusive high planarity, low expansion H1000 is available for all Micromanipulator probe stations and has versions for probing up to 300mm wafers.
