After setting up Micro-G® specific parameters for the process the
user should setup the normal parameters of the process using tab A
(page 1 and 2) and tab B (page 1 and 2).
After setting up a Micro-G® process the user can exit and save the
process by selecting the “Home” tab. Once at the “Home” tab the
user can select the Micro-G® process by using the dropdown menu
as was done with normal production processes.
Micro-G® Production
The steps to get the production process started for Micro-G® are
very similar to normal polishing. See the section on MACHINE
OPERATION earlier in this manual to get started.
Once the Micro-G® process has been setup and selected and the
machine is ready to polish navigate to the “Production” tab to start.

This screen will provide status for the user during the Micro-G®
process step. The status indicator fields will continually update the
user with position information, # of repeat moves remaining, time in
the dwells, and the normal parameters like platen speed and plunger
pressure.
There is also a “Home” button on this screen which allows the user
to redo the “Home” sequence and establish a new reference position
for the positional system. The green “Home” box gives the user an
indication of when the “Home” sensor is on or off.
