Manipulation Introduction
From mdcvacuum.com

MDC’s V-Plane® modular stages are building block components designed to streamline the implementation of a sample manipulation system. They can be used as stand alone components or combined with other V-Plane® instruments to attain customized motion and manipulation solutions. V-Plane® dual axis XY stages are micrometer driven and guided by cross roller bearing slides. MDC micrometers have unique laser etched plus-minus scales that indicate positive or negative port displacement. V-Plane® single axis stages employ handwheel and worm gear reduction drive mechanisms with linear displacement measured along the stage’s frame mounted scale. Z axis linear travels of up to 36" are available. MDC V-Plane® stages provide precise sample motion and manipulation of samples inside ultrahigh vacuum environments. V-Plane® Z stages can also be fitted with guide tubes to further expand their capabilities.

 


Products & Services
Linear slides are simple linear motion devices composed of a stationary base and a moving carriage. Linear stages are slides with a drive mechanism that provide controlled, precise positioning along a linear axis.
Microscope stages are platforms where specimens are placed for observation with a microscope. They are often equipped with a mechanical device which holds the specimen slide in place, but allows the back-and-forth and side-to-side movement of the slide.
Hydraulic cylinders are actuation devices that utilize pressurized hydraulic fluid to produce linear motion and force.
Multi-axis Positioning Systems make use of linear, rotary and goniometric stages, slides and drives in various combinations to create standard and custom positioning systems.
Piezoelectric actuators are devices that produce a small displacement with a high force capability when voltage is applied.
