Configuration options

The modular XL-T and XL-R series of MultiCentres can be configured in a variety of ways to meet your requirements:

  • Choose 4-axis for polar rotation only
  • Choose 5-axis if azimuthal rotation is also required

Additionally, heating and cooling can also be specified. 

If sample heating is required:

  • Resistive heating to 900°C and e-beam heating to 1200°C options are available

If sample cooling is required:

  • LN2 cooling to <-150°C and LHe to <20K (typically 15K) options can be included

Key Specifications

  • Choice of X, Y, Z motion and polar and azimuthal rotations
  • Resistive and e-beam heating options
  • Heating to 1200ºC
  • LN2 and LHe cooling options
  • Cooling to 15K

Configuration options

Choice of 4 or 5 axis configurations

Both the XL-T and XL-R range of multicentres are available in 4 or 5 axis configurations to suit the application requirements. 

4 axis (X,Y,Z,R1)

The 4 axis option provides a range of X, Y and Z movements with magnetically coupled rotary drive providing the polar (primary) rotation.

5 axis (X,Y,Z,R1,R2)

The 5 axis option provides a range of X, Y and Z movements with magnetically coupled rotary drives providing both the polar (primary) rotation and azimuthal (secondary) rotation.
