Pincers, Grabbers & Other End Effectors
Sample Handling Tools for Vacuum and UHV Environments
Position specimens precisely in vacuum and UHV environments with our range of specialised specimen pincers and grabbers.
Specimen Pincers: Ideal for precise handling in tight spaces and off-angle approaches. These pincers are designed for versatile specimen manipulation and are compatible with various sample holder types, Dual-Shaft Wobblesticks, and Dual-Shaft Sample Transporters.
Specimen Grabbers: These sample holder grabbers ensure the secure and gentle locking of specimens with a simple 90-degree turn of the wobblestick handle. Engineered for high-precision vacuum applications, they are fully compatible with Single-Shaft Wobblesticks (WM40), Sample Transporters, and UHV Suitcases.
Key Differences:
- Grip: Pincers offer a more flexible grip for complex movements - Grabbers are optimised for secure linear motion transfers.
- Application: Pincers excel in manoeuvrability; Grabbers prioritise ease-of-use and maximum grip security.
- Compatibility: Grabbers are designed for single-shaft manipulators, while pincers are tailored for dual-shaft solutions.
Specimen Forks: Perfect as simple specimen carriers that do not require mechanical actuation. Typically used in systems with specific or custom sample holder type
