Pincers, Grabbers & Other End Effectors
Sample Handling Tools for Vacuum and UHV Environments
Manipulate samples precisely in vacuum and UHV environments with specialized Pincers and Grabbers.
Pincers: Ideal for maneuvering in tight spaces and off-angle approaches. Compatible with Flag Style Sample Plates, Dual-Shaft Wobblesticks, and Dual-Shaft Sample Transporters..
Grabbers: The sample plate grabber securely and gently locks flag-style plates into place with a simple 90-degree turn of the wobblestick handle. It is compatible with Single-Shaft Wobblesticks (WM40), Sample Transporters, and UHV Suitcases.
Key Differences:
- Grip: Pincers offer a more flexible grip; Grabbers are ideal for linear motion transfers.
- Application: Pincers excel in maneuverability; Grabbers prioritize ease-of-use and grip security.
- Compatibility: Grabbers are compatible with single-shaft manipulators, while pincers are compatible with dual-shaft solutions.
Forks: Perfect as simple sample holder carriers that don't require mechanical actuation. Usually only used in systems with specific or custom sample holder types.
