Medium Vertical XY Positioners

Medium Vertical XY Positioner
Model: MEC-XYV
Our medium vertical XY positioners are the ideal for measurement or inspection of articles up to 9.1 m (30 ft) in height, for measuring medium and high gain antennas (>15 dBi) with large sized apertures from S-band through Ka-band frequencies making them suitable for testing medium and/or large arrays or reflector antennas.
