PELCO LatticeAx 420 cleaving system

The PELCO LatticeAx 420 (formerly from LatticeGear) provides the highest level of accuracy and performance in the PELCO LatticeAx Indent and Cleaving System model lineup. The PELCO LatticeAx 420 delivers our highest cleaving accuracy of 10μm in less than 5 minutes making it ideal for any lab that values speed and high accuracy while at the same time needing to accommodate a variety of sample sizes, thicknesses and material types. The patented PELCO LatticeAx base is integrated with a complete vision package that includes a monocular microscope with 4µm optical resolution, colour CCD camera and real-time image acquisition and display software, and an X-Y stage. This dedicated cleaving workstation is designed so any trained user can easily survey, align, micro-indent, cleave, and inspect processed samples.

Features

• Ultra high accuracy positioning of target (±10µm)
• Focus mount with coarse and fine focus control
• Monocular, parfocal, zoom lens (0.58-7x mag) with colour CCD camera
  (computer and monitor not included)
• Indent position control with 5µm step size
• Polished tip diamond indenter 5 minute process sample setup to cleave
• Simple to use, ergonomic design and small footprint
• Cleaves a wide range of materials and sample sizes
• Clock dial for indent depth calibration

The PELCO Small Sample Cleaver

Using simple mechanics, the PELCO Small Sample Cleaver (formerly from LatticeGear) uses a novel sample holder and a cleaving platform to safely cleave samples into chips as small as 2 x 2mm. The novel sample holder allows samples from 4-10mm to be held during indenting and cleaving. No more handling samples directly with fingers – gloved hands are ok. The holder has no screws, springs or pins. Accepts samples from 3-15mm in width and 200-900µm in thickness.

• Accepts samples from 3-15mm in width and 200-900µm in thickness
• Four magnetic hold-downs for various sample thicknesses
• Securely transfer the sample to the PELCO LatticeAx for indent, then back to the Small Sample Cleaver for cleaving
• Two cleaving pins for cleaving a variety of sample types
• Gauge sets the sample for an 0.5mm indent versus the standard 1mm indent on the PELCO LatticeAx

Large Sample Platform for PELCO LatticeAx

The Large Sample Platform is a PELCO LatticeAx option that adds support for wafers and samples up to 300mm. It consists of a support system and an indenter extension. The five fingers support large samples while the extender puts the fine-positioning knob for the indenter within easy reach. The Large Sample Platform fits on all models of PELCO LatticeAx systems and is easy to install with a single set screw.
