The ABCs of XYZs
The MB1500 Series XYZ Manipulator

 

Model MB1508 shown with large
micrometers and 6" base flange.
The MB1500 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 manipulator sets the standard.

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