The ABCs of XYZs
The MA Series XYZ Manipulator

The new MA1000 and MA2000 series of precision XYZ manipulators is,
quite simply, the best value on the market today.

 In terms of features, quality, possible configurations and cost, the MTS MA(nipulator)
sets the standard.

 Those are strong statements. Just take a close look at how we back them up.

Standard features and benefits  

  • Adjustable, crossed roller bearings for extra rigidity.
  • Bellows I.D. 1.39" (35 mm) in the MA1000 Series (circular pattern).
  • Bellows I.D. 1.89" (48 mm) in the MA2000 Series (square pattern).
  • Compact, rugged design with full Z axis frame provides extra rigidity to allow
    strokes to 12" (300 mm). No flimsy, unsupported guide rods!
  • Large micrometers are available.
  • XY travel ± 0.5" (12.5 mm) circular or square pattern).
  • Resolution to >0.0001" (2.5 µ ) with large micrometers.
  • Repeatability to >0.00005" (1.25 µ ) with large micrometers.
  • Resolution to >0.001" (10 µ ) with small micrometers.
  • Repeatability to >0.0005" (5 µ ) with smallmicrometers.

MA1002 with optional large micrometers, top flange tilt and 5 mini conflats
  • Z travel 2" -12" (50 - 300 mm).
