Micro-Manipulator Model FX-117
This three axis micro-manipulator provides safe and efficient positioning of microtools.
All three vernier readings are graduated in 0.1mm increments. The X-axis, which holds the tool clamp with microtool, has an additional fine movement with 0.001mm graduations.
The FX117 employs rack and pinion drive, V-shaped guide ways and cross bearings, so movement is precise and repeatable. Contact parts are milled from hardened steel for optimum performance and long life. Design employs in-line control knobs clustered within a 8cm area in a single vertical plane resulting in quick and precise hand manipulation.
The stand , the FX117-01 has a dovetail adapter and mounting post. The optional adapter FX118-02 (Microtool holder) can also be used.

Manual Ultra Precision Micro-Manipulator FX-118
The world patented precision Micro-Manipulator model FX-118 employs
a unique differential lever system for smooth movement of each of
its three stages, X,Y & Z. Each of the three stages is controlled by two independent micrometers
for rapid or fine advancement of each stage. An optional tilting device (FX-113)
has micrometer controlled tilting in two additional directions. An optional
micro-tool holder (FX-118-01) is available which can be mounted to either the
Z axis of the manipulator or the FX-113 tilting device. An optional adapter
(FX-118-02) is also available to hold all available micro-tools![]()

Microdrilling Systems
1. The Model L Microdrilling Machine
The Model L machine represents a new approach to efficient, low cost recision microdrilling. The L model employs standard spiral HSS micro-drills from .03mm to 0.50mm (0.0012” to 0.020”) and solid carbide micro-drills from 0.10mm to 0.50mm (0.0039” to 0.020”) diameter (and larger). These drills can be used for work on most metals and plastics.
The drill has a carbide faced interchangeable V-baring frame in which the drill is held. A precision setscrew- type-pulley and an endless belt, together with the inclined drive motor design assure positive return of the drill to the “up” position.
Employing the V-bearing principle, the drill acts as its own spindle but will run much truer than in other holding devices such as collets or chucks. Micro-dial with a zero setting friction clutch provides 0.0075mm (0.0003”) incremental feed. A returnable in-feed plunger is gently pressed for each increment set on the dial.
The Model L is available with optional equipment such as x-y positioning tables, vacuum chucks etc.
- Positioning Table, Model MD 025 travels 25mm and 50mm in x, y. Supplied with 2 micrometers in mm or inches
- Vacuum chuck, Model MDC 040 assures positive holding and accurate repeated placement of glass substrates by mean of 3 locating pins.
