Two movements can be controlled with the cranks connected to the bottom flange: one allows moving the whole rail track into the two nearby chambers, while the second one controls the movement of the carousel on the rail.

The interconnecting chambers are pumped by ion pumps and non-evaporable getter pumps. Introducing and removing the samples in the cluster is assured by the load lock-fast entry chamber, equipped with a 80 l/s turbo pump. The load lock can transfer from air to UHV up to four sample holders in about 30 min.
Up to 12 samples can be stored and transferred under UHV conditions.
A docking station for the UHV shuttle is also available and can be installed in either of the two interconnection chambers.
- The UHV shuttle is pumped with a combination ion pump with an optional liquid-N2 cooled trap.
- The interface between the cluster and the UHV shuttle is assured by a two-valve interconnect turbo pump enabling the transfer in low 10−10 mbar pressure.
- The UHV shuttle can host up to six sample holders (three per each standard).
