MPI offers a wide variety of precise and backlash-free Micro Manipulators, to meet all measurement conditions. The range includes very compact positioners up to high resolution equipped with a digital micrometer for RF and mmW applications:
MPI offers a complete range accessories, including coaxial, triaxial, RF, high temperature Kelvin, high voltage and high current probe arms.
Contact quality
Z-motion, ergonomic operation and magnetic bases with extremely strong holding power enable precise placement of test tips for high contact quality producing unsurpassed measurement results.
MPI Micro Manipulators are designed with a universal interface that is compatible with all tip arms to facilitate adaptation to specific application requirements. The diversity of designs allows operators to choose Micro Manipulators that match their work habits, resulting in immediate proficiency.
The Micro Manipulators developed by MPI are designed without compromise. The all-carbon steel structure allows for stable contact over long periods and high positioning accuracy.
Kelvin Arms
MPI offers a wide range of Kelvin probe arms.
The standard Kelvin holder has a unique self-leveling vertical tip that is isolated as close to the DUT as possible.
Optional models for ESD and low noise measurements are also available.
They set the new standard for accurate impedance or pulsed IV measurements with very low noise.
Kelvin test tips allow a novice user to make fast and accurate ultra-low impedance measurements. Replacement is extremely simple.
HT-Kelvin probes also offer unmatched capability for high temperature measurements up to 300°C. The LTM-Kelvin version is designed for long-term measurements and enables ATMT™ automated multi-temperature testing.
DC Flexible Arms
MPI DC Flexible Arms are explicitly designed to meet the specific requirements of product engineering, failure analysis and design validation applications. Simultaneous testing with probe boards, even at sub-zero temperatures, is possible thanks to the freely adjustable arm angles and lengths. At the same time, the design offers maximum stability for measuring small structures. The Non-50 Ohm cable-end option allows easy connection to e.g. oscilloscopes!
RF Arms
The RF probe arms enable easy and very convenient planarization of RF probes using the high-end Mitutoyo micrometer and direction indicators. The quick, tool-free tip height adjustment with the integrated graduated scale is a small example of the great ease of use of the different RF test tip technologies.
Each arm comes standard with two cable clamps, which guide the cables, even for dual-signal tips, without crushing them.
