Transax Translator

 

The Transax bridges the performance gap between the user friendly HPT and very high stability Omniax. All the normal Vacuum Generators sample handling equipment and rotary modules are compatible with the Transax.
Features
  • Fully UHV compatible double bellows translator with a probe capacity of Ø28mm.
  • The Transax has a guided support tube and the unique Vacuum Generators hinged flange to give improved sample stability by more than 5 times that of a cantilevered support tube.
  • Z travels up to 450 mm and XY vectorial travel up to ±25mm.
  • The construction is thermally matched to eliminate bi-metal deformation even after repeated bakeouts to 230°C.
  • All axes can be manually or stepper motor operated.
  • The motors are simple to remove for bakeout.
  • The interchangeable modules allow most configurations to be updated later.
  • Mounting in any orientation.
  • The Transax conforms to EU Safety Directives.
Construction
The stability and versatility of the Transax is possible due to the double bellows construction. This construction follows the principle of the Omniax translator, but the Transax offers a more cost effective solution where a large capacity and extreme stability of the Omniax are not necessary. The basic Transax combines a linear Z-Slide with an XY-Table joined with a rigid interface that eliminates strain from the mating flanges of the Z-slide.

Travelling Flange:

NW40CF (70mm OD) Conflat flange with clearance holes, straddled about the X-axis.

Base Flanges:

NW35CF (70mm OD) Conflat with Ø6.8mm straddled clearance holes (Z-only option only.)

NW100CF (152mm OD) Conflat with Ø8.4mm straddled clearance holes (T000 and T105 XY stages.)

NW100CF (152mm OD) Conflat with straddled M8 tapped flanges (T108 and T208 XY stages.)

VG Scienta can normally provide alternative base flanges to specific requirements.
