The M325 three-axis manual micromanipulator is built of precision micrometer-actuated linear slides. Each slide is comprised of a large micrometer head and a spring-return linear slide. The micromanipulator was designed to minimize wear in the moving components to achieve a long operational life without the necessity for frequent maintenance. The micrometer head is graduated in 10 µm steps which enable repeatable positioning to an accuracy of ± 2 µm.
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.
The tool holder can clamp onto tools with shaft diameters of 3.0 mm to 12.7mm 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 12.7mm diameter.
