Small Vertical XY Positioners

Small Vertical XY Positioner
Model: MEC-XYV

Our small vertical XY positioners are ideal for precision measurement or inspection of small articles, high frequency, medium and high gain antennas (>15 dBi) with small apertures from X-band through mmWave frequencies, making them suitable for testing feeds and small arrays or reflector antennas.
