1. Introduction
1.1. DRVRMOTL
Motorized linear and manual rotary drives are designed to operate sample transporters and
optionally attached sample locking mechanisms such as a pincer grip. The DRVRMOTL linear drive is
compatible with RM40, RMD40, RMDG40 and GMD40. For these sample transporters, a variety of
Ferrovac sample receivers, carriers and pincers are available. The motorized linear drive still allows
for manual rotation of the shaft for sensitive application of the rotation of your sample holder or
when opening/closing the pincer. Rotation can be locked using a thumbscrew.
1.2. DRVRMOTLR
Motorized linear and rotary drives are designed to operate sample transporter and optionally
attached sample locking mechanisms such as a pincer grip. The DRVRMOTLR linear and rotary drive
is compatible with RM40, RMD40, RMDG40 and GMD40. For these sample transporters, a variety of
Ferrovac sample receivers, carriers and pincers are available. Single rotation and linear movement is
completely motorized. Thus opening/closing of pincers or rotation of you sample carrier is easily
done from your workstation.
1.3. DRVRMOTLRR
Motorized linear and rotary drives are designed to operate sample transporters and to optionally
attached sample locking mechanisms such as a pincer grip. The DRVRMOTLRR linear and double
rotary drive is only compatible with RMDG40 sample transporters (as only this model has two
rotatable axis). For this sample transporter a variety of Ferrovac sample receivers, carriers and
pincers are available. Double rotational axis and linear movement is completely motorized. Thus
opening/closing and rotation of pincers or rotation of your sample carrier is easily done from your
workstation.
2. Unpacking and Inspection
Motorized sample transporters are shipped clean and ready to use in UHV. Prepare a sufficiently
clean workspace and wear surgical gloves when unpacking and inspecting the device. Check for any
visible damage of the package, manipulator and accessories. Compare the contents of the package
with the delivery note. Any damage or missing items must be reported to Ferrovac within 48 hours
after delivery.
