Sutter MM33 Micromanipulator
MM-33 Micromanipulator
Successfully used in conjunction with our other micromanipulators,
the MM-33 is available separately for those wishing a small, practical
instrument in applications not requiring sub-micron accuracy. The MM-33
is the right choice for tight environments which require maximum
versatility within a small space. The optional rotating base and
tiltable X-axis provide even further flexibility. Stainless steel
cross-loaded roller bearings are designed to offer low friction and
smooth linear motion with a minimum of side play. The pre-loaded rollers
are set at 90 degrees to the hardened steel guides ensuring constant
contact and accuracy. This precise rack and pinion drive gives stable,
drift free movement with minimal backlash. The controls are placed one
above the other which makes for less hand movement and easier
positioning. The scales for all axes are calibrated in 0.10mm increments
and the fine micrometer adjustment for the X-axis thrust is calibrated
at 0.01mm with estimates to 5um. The optional rotating base extends the
utility of the MM-33 by providing two additional rotating planes. The
rotation in the horizontal plane (approximately 120 degrees) has a
positive stop, quick release mechanism for fast insertion and removal of
pipettes. The second rotating axis allows the MM-33 to be tilted in a
vertical plane from 0 to 70 degrees. The optional tiltable X-axis allows
the fine axis to be tilted up to 45 degrees. An optional vertical lock
is also available for locking the position of the vertical axis. These
options should be ordered at the time of purchase since the
modifications are factory installed. Individual excursions are as
follows:
| X-axis |
coarse movement: |
37mm |
| X-axis |
fine movement: |
10mm |
| Y-axis |
horizontal movement: |
20mm |
| Z-axis |
vertical movement: |
20mm |
