SemiProbe Triaxial Probe Arm

The SemiProbe triaxial probe arm is manufactured for use with SemiProbe manipulators and probe systems. It was specifically designed to be short to minimize mechanical vibrations and electrical losses. One end of the probe arm has a clamping collet. The collet head has three grooved slots that allow the user to insert the probe tip at preset angles of 30, 45 and 180 degrees. After the probe tip is in the desired position the collet is rotated to clamp it into place. To change a probe tip the collet is loosened to allow the old probe tip to be replaced. The other end of the probe arm is connected to the manipulator's adjustable faceplate. A 3' (1M) triaxial cable with a 3 lug triax connector is on that end and is connected directly to the test instrumentation or to a bulkhead connector. The triaxial probe arms are available in a variety of shapes and lengths.
