2-Axis RTTA (Rotary & telescopic extension)
The 2-axis RTTA provides 360° rotation and 760mm linear extension within an ultra-compact footprint. Typically <1mm deflection at full arm extension with 10N load, linear reproducibility of <0.2mm and rotational reproducibility of <0.2mm. Motorization options available.
Features
- 760mm extension
- Typically <1mm deflection at full extension under 10N load
- Rotational reproducibility <0.2mm
- Linear reproducibility <0.2mm
- Clean, UHV performance
- Competitively priced compared to conventional designs
The 2-axis RTTA provides a cost-effective solution for radial distribution sample transfer applications providing arm rotation and arm extension.
A high torque magnetically-coupled MagiDrive precisely rotates the transfer arm to align with the desired chamber port. A second MagiDrive is used to drive the innovative telescopic mechanism to provide an arm extension of 760mm to transport the sample in and out of the desired satellite chamber.
The 2-axis RTTA can be motorized using stepper or SMART motors. Alternatively the RTTA can be configured to accept any standard NEMA23 motor.
