ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE 1D MOTORIZED SYSTEM
1 ⸀ Connect the Motor Stage, MS-15, to the UniMotor Controller, MC-1,
and connect this to power ⸀
2 ⸀ Use the hex key to separate the Tilting Base from the Micromanipu-
lator itself (Fig ⸀ 1) ⸀
3 ⸀ Mount the u-shaped spacer on the tilting base using the provided
bolts (Fig ⸀ 2) ⸀
4 ⸀ Place the MS-15 on the u-shaped spacer (Fig ⸀ 3a & b) ⸀ The Tilting Base
and Motor stage should be oriented as shown in Fig ⸀ 3 ⸀ This reduces
the risk of sensor damage due to accidentally loosening the two nuts
holding the tilt function ⸀
5 ⸀ Mount the MS-15 on the u-shaped spacer with four bolts (red arrows
in Fig ⸀ 4) ⸀ There are eight holes in the back of the MS-15 so the MS-15
can be mounted in one of three positions, centred on the Tilting Base
or high or low ⸀ To get access to the holes in the MS-15 back, move the
Stage Plate up or down using the Motor Control Button on the motor
housing (Fig ⸀ 5) ⸀ Rotate the button up or down to make the motor
move the Stage Plate up or down to reveal the holes for the bolts ⸀
Insert the bolts and tighten gently ⸀
6 ⸀ Mount the Micromanipulator, MM33 or MM33-2, on the Stage Plate
and 昀椀x it using the bolts removed in step 2 above (Fig. 6).
7 ⸀ Mount the MS-15 - Micromanipulator assembly on the Laboratory
Stand, using the Elongated Nut and the Knurled Bolt (Fig ⸀ 7) ⸀ Put the
Knurled Bolt through the hole in the centre of the Tilting Base and
mount the Elongated Nut on the bolt a couple of turns ⸀ Slide the
Elongated Nut down the groove on the Laboratory Stand (Fig ⸀ 8) ⸀
Tighten the Knurled Nut using the metal rod (Fig ⸀ 9) ⸀
