TP250 PRECISION POSITIONER

TP250 Positioner

(Left-handed and right-handed shown above) Positioner with various arms and adapters for holding microprobes and PacketMicro probes

FP160MS-MA02

Its built-in 360O adjustable bubble leveler enables the microscope to be correctly oriented at a 900 angle to the PCB. No need to constantly adjust lateral position of the test probe while lowering it to touch down on the test pads.
