XYZ AFM gantry for wafer inspection, microscopy | travel up to 550 x 1550 mm | air bearing, ball screw, belt, stepper motor
Highly stable AFM air bearing gantry with large travel ranges
This very rigid XYZ gantry is specially designed for high-precision atomic force microscopy (AFM) examination of particularly large glass samples. Above the u-shaped sample platform is a movable cantilever in Z for the customized AFM.
The cantilever can be precisely aligned with the sample and moved to any point within the U-shape for surface relief acquisition. The air bearing provides excellent in-plane positioning accuracy. The maximum sample weight is 500 kg.
Atomic stability for demanding measurements
· Ideal for highly rigid and precise measurements without the influence of vibration
· High throughput due to travels of 150 x 275 x 50 mm, expandable to 550 x 1550 x 50 mm
· Extreme stability at standstill of 5 nm and better
· Outstanding long lifetime due to the use of wear-free air bearings
Optionally expandable:
· Integration of further sensors into the process
· Customized adaptation of traverse paths, length combination, cabling and control system
· Feet for additional protection against building vibrations
· Versions for clean room ISO 14644-1 (up to class 1 on request)
· Connections for exhaust
· Special configuration for biotechnology, medical technology, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors
· Optional with pre-configured controller incl. exemplary software for immediate use
