## Universal manipulator with 3 powered axis's

Smaller column depth minimizes space extension, cable routing, and wrapping concerns. Reach is long enough to dock from the rear or side of the peripheral. Hoses and cable exit rear of the test head and are managed into the clamp, which rotates with the head during the twist. The cables are held from a column-mounted swing arm, which can be mounted on the left or right side.

**Available Options:**
