abstract = {The investigation of edge plasmas at the stellarator W7-X
requires a flexible tool for integration of a variety of
different diagnostics as e.g. electrical probes, probing
magnetic coils, material collection, or material exposition
probes, and gas injection. A multi-purpose manipulator (MPM)
system has been developed and attached to the W7-X vessel
before the operational phase 1.1. The system was designed as
user facility for many diagnostics, which can be mounted on
a unique interface without breaking the W7-X vacuum. The
manipulator system, located in the equatorial plane,
transports the inserted diagnostic probe to the edge of the
inner vacuum vessel. From there, the probe can be moved over
a maximum distance of 350 mm to different positions inside
the plasma with a maximum acceleration and deceleration of
30 m/s2. Acceleration, speed, and stroke depth are
individually adjustable and programmable by a PLC system
within predetermined limits. The MPM system can be equipped
with multifunctional probes and is prepared for
cooling/heating of the probe head, gas injection, and a
flexible setting of the electrical diagnostic. In the paper,
the MPM components, their functionalities, and the interface
to the probe head are described. The scope of physical
parameters is presented for the development of diagnostic
probes applicable in the MPM user facility. This also
includes the operational parameters for the movements and
the electrical environment for measurements. The operation
of the MPM during the OP1.1 is demonstrated on the
application of a multipurpose probe head, including
electric, magnetic, and thermal probes.},
