S Vibratory Polisher
4.3 Locking Mechanism
Insert the locking handle straight into the side port of the GIGA. Once inside, the
handle should be guided into the hex
-
shaped hole on the bowl locking mechanism.
Rotate the handle about 180 clockwise. The front panel will indicate when the bowl
is engaged in the lock. Remove the handle and place next to the
machine. The handle should not be left in the machine while it is running.
The frequency set at the factory is ideal for compression mounts that have been
mounted in their respective GIGA sample holders. The
GIGA
-
S
is fully capable
of handling irregular and heavy objects. If the user wishes to place a large or
irregularly shaped object in the bowl, it is recommended to adjust the frequency
to ensure optimal polishing. If similar parts are polished often, the ability to save
the procedure is available. The desired frequency can be found as follows:
4.4 Finding the Correct Frequency
1.
Lock down the GIGA bowl and ensure the Locking Indicator is ON.
2.
Fill the GIGA bowl with the intended polishing medium.
3.
Place the sample(s) inside the bowl.
4.
If the user plans to program settings for one of the buttons, follow the
directions in section 4.5 Programming a Button.
5.
Start the machine with the Run/Stop button.
6.
Press the frequency button and adjust up or down until the sample starts to
move.
7.
Continue adjusting the frequency up or down in small increments until the
sample is moving at the desired rate in a continuous smooth circle.
8.
Press frequency again to save the parameter.
