Signatone Micropositioners Signatone offers a variety of high resolutions micropositioner as follows:
	CAP-945 Computer Aided Probe The CAP-945 is a motorized micropositioner that is designed to be controlled by any of the Signatone Solutions Computer Aided Probing Systems or by the Signatone JD2 joystick / thumbwheel controller. CAP-945 micropositioners provide "hands-off" probing and can take advantage of the programmable capabilities that computer aided probing offers.Download the product brochure for the CAP-946 Computer Aided Probing System [286K PDF file]

S-96MW Micropositioner The S-96MW micropositioner is designed for RF probing. The positioner has one inch movements in all axes and captured cross-roller bearings to prevent accidentally moving the tip if bumped. An integral co-planarity adjustment provides for adjusting G-S-G tip planarity. S-96MW positioners are available with head configurations allowing the microwave head to be introduced from the front, rear, left or right side. The S-96MW is the most stable RF positioner available.

The SP-150 Inline Micropositioner The SP-150 is Signatone's most stable and precise micropositioner for submicron probing. All three axes are mechanical isolated from the movement knobs, providing zero user induced vibration. The X and Y knobs are both located at the rear of the micropositioner so that multiple micropositioners can be positioned closely together without interference from a knob located on the side. The SP-150 is designed for state of the art sub-micron geometry probing. The SP-150 includes a pivoting assembly which allows probe tip holders to be quicly positioned in the Z axis, prior to using the fine Z positioning movement for final touchdown.

The SP170X MICROTOOLS The Signatone SP170X features a suite of exceptionally strong, high-resolution microtools. The actuating mechanism consists of a proprietary micro cam-drive that moves axially across the nickel microtool to rigidly and precisely position the tool tips. 0 to 1000 ìm tip-to-tip opening Ultra high-resolution tip control Strong, robust metal microtips Precise tip alignment MEMS and biological applications Download the SP170X brochure [145K PDF FILE]

S-931 Micropositioner The S-931 micropositioner is designed for state of the art sub-micron geometry probing. The S-931 micropositioner has two speeds of positioning movement in the X and Y axes. A small knob is used for 100 TPI resolution movement and a larger concentric knob provides the equivalent of 800 TPI using a compound nut assembly. It is available with a magnetic or vacuum base and in either left or right hand models. Three head assemblies are available: The "C" head holds the probe tip holder in a fixed position. The "S" head has small leaf springs to compensate for the expansion often associated with high temperature thermal probing. The "P" head has a pivot assembly which allows the probe tip holder to be quicly positioned in the Z axis, prior to using the fine Z positioning movement for final touchdown.

S-926 Micropositioner The S-926 micropositioner is designed for small geometry probing down to approximately one micron. It is available with a magnetic or vacuum base and in either left or right hand models. Three head assemblies are available: The "C" head holds the probe tip holder in a fixed position. The "S" head has small leaf springs to compensate for the expansion often associated with high temperature thermal probing. The "P" head has a pivot assembly which allows the probe tip holder to be quicly positioned in the Z axis, prior to using the fine Z positioning movement for final touchdown.

S-725 Micropositioner The S-725 micropositioner is designed primarily for probing targets that are approximately 1 mil (12.7 microns) and larger. It is available with a magnetic or vacuum base and in either left or right hand models. Three head assemblies are available: The "C" head holds the probe tip holder in a fixed position. The "S" head has small leaf springs to compensate for the expansion often associated with high temperature thermal probing. The "P" head has a pivot assembly which allows the probe tip holder to be quicly positioned in the Z axis, prior to using the fine Z positioning movement for final contact.

Pivot Head The pivot head assembly is available on S-725, S-926, and S-931 micropositioners.

S-750 Joystick Micropositioner The Signatone S-750 features a 9:1 motion ratio and a scan area of 0.10" x 0.180". The S-750 is available with or without the removable extension rod. The body is made of mold injected Delrin and it is mounted onto a strong magnetic metal base. The S-750 is capable of rapidly establishing contact with probing targets as small as 1 mil.

PROBE TIPS and HOLDERS Signatone micropositioners do not include a probe tip holder or the probe tips, however, Signatone offers a wide range of probe tips and holders which can be seen at these web pages: PROBE TIP HOLDERS (the "U" series probe tip holders work with all of the above listed micropositioners. PROBE TIPS (a wide range of probe tips are listed, including prices)
