We have small XY slide boards, that are moved manually. With ball bearings, about 20x20 inches, height some 2 inches. The board's top plate is anodized aluminum. I'll see if I can figure out from where we get them. You can move the board with fingertips under microscope.

Some of the PCBs that we assemble are thick and heavy : 14 '' X 14 '' 0.125'' thick. The problem we have is that our inspectors have difficulties manipulating them for the inspection and with time, they got minor shoulder ache. I would like to know if there is any equipment we could buy that would support the PCB for the inspection under the microscope. The support should be able to rotate the PCB on all axes.
