MM-500 Motorized Micromanipulator

Introduction

The MM-500 is designed to meet the diverse positioning needs of the scientific community for patch clamp experiments, extracellular recording, microinjection, intracellular recording, and precision robotic positioning applications.

The MM-500 uses custom stepper motors, bearing slides that form the basis of a precision mechanical system. The controller supplies the stage motor with a quiet linear power supply that minimizes electrical noise radiation in the setup. The MM-500 is compatible with mainstream micromanipulation platform, can be used with any microscope, can hold a variety of probes and micro-syringes.

Features

• Small size, Mechanical manipulator (L×W×H)140×148×148 mm, Controller (L×W×H)204×163×140 mm, Rotary photoelectric encoder (L×W×H)153×123×87 mm.
• The TFT 4.3 inch touch screen shows the position and moving speed of the activated manipulator as well as X, Y and Z.
• High-resolution stepper motor meets four-axis drive, the maximum distance of X, Y, Z and diagonal movement is 25mm.
• The maximum moving speed is 2.9mm/s.
• The precision mechanical system allows sub-micron resolution to 0.132 μm in the coarse range and 33 nm in the fine range.
• Good stability and small drift, long Term Stability＜10nm /h at 24℃.
• Axes positions are continuously shown in relative or absolute scales, and are easily readable on the screen.
• A rotary photoelectric encoder can control two manipulators and switch freely.
• Origin/working position function can meet the requirement of rapid return of electrode to original position/working position.
• High repeatable positioning accuracy：Single axis ≤1μm, three axis ≤2μm.
• Switch continuous increment or step increment mode directly by pressing the key.
