Model 642 Hydraulic X-Y Micropositioner


Model 642 Advanced Features

The hydraulic drive is designed for a full 10 mm of total travel distance. The distance traveled is dis-played on .010 mm resolution dial indicators for gross movement. Fine resolution of movement is engraved on the axis control knobs with .001 mm resolution.

The 2-axis slave positioner is connected to the hydraulic unit by 9 ft. heavy walled flexible teflon tubing.

The slide stages of the slave unit are precision ball slides for absolute smooth, rigid and accurate electrode manipulation.

Master and slave cylinders have 1:1 ratio.

Cylinders have rolling diaphragms to provide absolute separation of air and water.

Distilled water is used because of its compression factor and low coefficient of expansion at room temperature.

X/Y slave cylinders are easily removable for performing refill procedure on hydraulic assembly.

  • Total travel distance 10 mm.
  • Dial Indicators - gross movement .010 mm resolution.
  • Calibrated Dials - fine control movement .001 mm resolution.

Model 642 is a portable manual operated hydraulic 2-axis micropositioner designed for noise free remote manipulation of recording electrodes while the stereotaxic experiment is isolated inside of an EMI shield.

The X/Y slave positioner mounts directly onto the lateral slide of all Kopf manipulators. Design includes our standard mounting configuration for mounting any Kopf manual or electronically controlled hydraulic micropositioner for full 3-axis remote electrode manipulation. Additionally, any standard Kopf stereotaxic accessory can be mounted directly onto the slave unit for 2-axis ultra-fine manipulation.
