Precision built

The M325 three axis manual micromanipulator is built of precision micrometeractuated linear slides. Each slide is comprised of a large micrometer head and a spring return linear slide. The micromanipulator has been carefully designed to minimize wear in the moving components to achieve a long operational life without the necessity for frequent maintenance or adjustment. The micrometer head is graduated in 10 micron steps which enable repeatable positioning to an accuracy of ± 2μm.When the M325 is mounted on an M10 magnetic base with the standard steel base plate, the average maximum practical height from the tabletop to the center of the pivot point on the manipulator is approximately 34cm. 

Movement

A unique spring return mechanism is used to transmit movement of the micrometer spindle to the slide carriage - eliminating backlash, lost motion and reducing thread wear. Each linear slide utilizes ball bearings which enable the M325 to carry loads of up to 1 kg.

Toolholder

The toolholder can clamp onto tools with shaft diameters of 3.0 mm to 12.7 mm and allows rotation around two axes. This provides a wide range of options for incorporating the manipulator into your workstations. The M325 can also be configured very easily in left- or right-handed versions to allow several units to be positioned in close proximity. A quick-release clamp allows easy mounting onto any rod from 10?mm to 12.7 mm diameter.
