There are not many companies that have been in business for as long as Micromanipulator (over 60 years), and you may be wondering what our secret is and why we have enjoyed continued success unlike many of our competitors.  Once you know more about our company, you will recognize that three things have set us apart from the competition – our technology, products and focus on customer service and support.  

In terms of our technology, Micromanipulator not only sets the bar high but has an exceptional, experienced team to deliver on it.  With the invention of analytical probing in 1956, we have since produced many industry’s firsts such as pioneering the integration of thermal chucks with probe stations.  Even today, we continued to lead the industry with the broadest available temperature range and the most advanced, non-operator dependent performance available on the market.  Our system approach removes the “burden of performance” on users and allows them to focus on the data, not the prober and includes vibration isolation, thermal management, materials selections and flexible, open architectures.  

Furthermore, with our broad selection of manual, motorized, or semi-automatic probers, users can easily choose a probe station that best meets their needs. We also have an extensive range of accessories including our exclusive H1000 series thermal wafer chuck that offer the best planarity, lowest noise and the lowest cost of ownership.   Micromanipulator’s other options include microscopes, vibration isolation, light and noise shields, manipulators, and DC and RF measurement hardware.

Although while we know that our exceptional products and advanced technology have been critical to our success, we think the most important step Micromanipulator has taken from the start is to listen and learn from our customers. Our professional services include a worldwide network of service support engineers for full system level support on everything from optics to thermal chucks.  Also to protect your investment, we offer extended warranties, preventative maintenance programs and upgrade paths even for obsolete tools.  

The recently released Global Micromanipulators Industry 2017 publication is a comprehensive, professional report that covers the following topics: Size, Share, Trends, Industry Growth, Opportunity, Application, Production, Segmentation, Cost Structure, Company Profile, Product Picture and Specifications during the Forecast period of 2022. The report also includes an overview of where the market is right now along with a detailed account of the industry’s potential for growth.  

By providing a wealth of marketing research on key trends and industry leaders, the report is sure to be useful to established companies as well as new entrants into the market.  The data encompasses the current environment as well as lots of predictions for the next several years.  The authors of the study state that, “These predictions feature important inputs from leading industry experts and take into account every statistical detail regarding the Micromanipulators market.”  

In addition the comprehensive study contains critical strategies and impact analysis of top companies along with an overview of their businesses, revenue shares and SWOT analyses.  The detailed profiles include the most prominent players in the market such as The Micromanipulator Company, Narishige, Research Instruments, Leica, and Eppendorf. In addition the 2017 report analyzes the impact of the most recent industry mergers and acquisition as well as joint ventures.  

Especially useful to less established companies are the proposals for new project development that can be used to “help companies optimize their operations and revenue structure.”   The report also discusses strategic recommendations to optimize ROI for all companies.  If you are interested in reading the full report, you will find a link to the full study on Micromanipulator’s facebook page.  

At Micromanipulator, we not only invented analytical probing in 1956 but are still the top name in the field.  As such we reliably deliver the tools and life cycle support the semiconductor industry depends on.  A key part of our company’s philosophy and what drives our success is an unfaltering commitment to customers’ satisfaction.  Please contact us to learn more about our wide range of probe stations and accessories.  

Micromanipulator is pleased to offer our customers a full line of probe stations that range from our system level probers and semi-automatics, to our high performance manual and general purpose manual probe stations.  With such a large line of probers, we have a wafer probe station for virtually any testing application.  Furthermore, as we design and manufacture an extensive line of options, you can configure your equipment to get exactly what you need.

One high performance manual probe station that continues to be a popular choice among customers is the Model 8060 (150-200mm). Along with offering the value of efficiency as well as consistent, accurate electrical and mechanical performance, the 8060 is the manual 150-200mm probe station of choice for demanding analytical testing applications across the globe.

It is designed for ease of use in demanding applications such as very low current and voltage probing, sub-micron target probing to the limits of visible optics, and high and low temperature probing.  The highest performance 8060 is also the highest value 200mm analytical prober on the market today.

In addition the prober offers comprehensive accessory support to broaden testing applications such as an integrated environment that supports dark – shielded – dry probing.  It is also hot and cold chuck compatible (field upgradeable).  Other popular accessories include probe card holders, manipulators, unique probe holders, vibration isolation tables, and camera systems. We also offer light tight enclosures (LTEs).

You will discover that the low cost of ownership and the price-performance value of the model 8060’s high efficiency features and rugged reliability make it a truly cost-effective answer for high performance analytical probing.  Please visit our website to learn more about this impressive probe station and our other models.  If you have any questions, please give us a call and we will be glad to help.
