Abstract

Analysis manipulator for non-destructive material testing, including a support device having a mounting flange, a precision coordinate-moving mechanism having at least two guide frames each including coordinate drives in the form of straight guides and a drive having a spindle and a nut being movable by the spindle along the straight guides, the guide frames including a first lower guide frame having a mounting flange being mountable to the mounting flange of the support device, a second guide frame being movable by the coordinate drive of the first guide frame in a first given coordinate direction, and a testing head mount being movable by the coordinate drive of the second guide frame in a second given coordinate direction, and a method for the coordinate control of the analysis manipulator.
