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 pincers and grabbers.

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.

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 maneuverability; 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.

Forks: Perfect as simple sample holder carriers that do not require mechanical actuation. Typically used in systems with specific specimens or custom sample holder types.
