DEVICE OF ORIENTATION OF SAMPLE FOR NANOTECHNOLOGICAL COMPLEX Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC B25J11/00 B82B3/00 

FIELD: nanotechnology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of nanotechnology, and can be used in automated transport systems of transmission and positioning of the sample in vacuum and controlled gaseous environment. The device comprises means of gripping the sample and the mechanism of moving it, the sample carrier in the form of a ring shaped along the outer circumference. The means of gripping comprises a platform, two pairs of rollers arranged pairwise on opposite edges of the platform and made with the elements of interaction with the carrier sample and the drive of movement of the rollers along the horizontal axis. The mechanism of moving the means of gripping comprises a U-shaped frame connected to the drive of movement along the vertical axis, mounted on the bottom of the device. The U-shaped frame covers with its lugs the platform of the means of gripping of the sample, and the rotation drive of the means of gripping around the horizontal axis and the rotation drive of one of the rollers is mounted on them separately.

EFFECT: device enables to perform independent functions of orientation and rotation of the sample with the working surface up or down, the function of the mechanism of inter-operational transfer of the sample from one chamber of the cluster to another without rotation and orientation of the sample.
