The Keysight N2787A 3D Probe Positioner is a precision positioning accessory engineered for stable, three-dimensional probe placement during electronic testing and measurement. Its articulating arm delivers fine-grained XYZ positioning via a stepless clamping system, enabling access to difficult-to-reach test points with repeatable 0.5 µm step resolution. The universal probe holder accommodates a broad range of Keysight passive and active probes, InfiniiMax browsers, and compatible third-party probes, making it suitable for R&D, characterization, and field troubleshooting.
