a) MMS-1A-RS - standard-size Mapper with the scanning volume (135 x135 x 135) mm;
b) MMS-1X-RS large-size Mapper with the scanning volume (500 x 500 x 300) mm
Applied encoders help determine the exact position of the probe and help eliminate mechanical transfer elements, such as bearings.

The rotary stage is positioned on the mapper base table. It is driven by a step motor and controlled through
the incremental rotary encoder. A non-magnetic multi-jaw scroll chuck is mounted on the rotary stage as a
very precise magnet holder.
