Flex Positioner FP120 is a versatile positioner for holding a variety of test probes, especially the widely used oscilloscope probes. Using the articulated arm for coarse positioning first and then controlling the fine adjustments with the XYZ stage and θ control, one can make good test measurements with reliable probe contact.

Magnetic Switch at Base
The magnetic switch at the base can be turned on and off for the ease of moving the FP120.
Steel Base Plate
An additional steel base plate with anti-static rubber bottom allows FP120 to extend the long flexible arm in full length as it stands on a regular nonmetallic.
