Request InfoDTI Nanotech (See Discovery Technology International)The NanoRobot-6AX is a benchtop robotic nanopositioning system from DTI-NanoTech, a division of Discovery Technology International LLP. It combines an X-Y-Z 100-mm-travel-range platform with the patent-pending RoboMate robotic system. The six-axis angular-linear automated system can position a tool/probe toward a target from nearly any direction or angle with nanometer precision. The Virtual Point technology enables the tool/probe tip to remain fixed at a specific point even as its angle is changed with respect to the target. Operating on Windows XP software, the system includes a digital...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSBioPhotonics Mar/Apr 2023 IssueCryogenic NanopositionerThe Rook™ cryogenic nanopositioner from Montana Instruments Corp. provides bi-directional, three-axis performance, giving users the flexibility needed to optimize sample motion.
