(4) Removing and mounting the additional
sleeves
Both coaxial knurled knobs for the stages are
equipped with additional sleeves for an even more
sensitive adjustment of the specimen position.
These sleeves can be removed in those cases when
it is important to shift the specimen more quickly.
•
Loosen both clamping screws (
4
) on
the lower additional sleeve (
3
) and
remove them by pulling them down. Then
loosen both clamping screws (
2
) on
the upper additional sleeves (
1
) and
remove them by pulling them down as well.
•
Re-mount the additional sleeves on the coaxial
knurled knobs by following the above steps in
reverse order. Tighten the clamping screws
when you are done.
(5) Adjusting the friction (smoothness of operation) on both coaxial knurled knobs of the
ergonomic drives
The smoothness of ergonomic operation is factory pre-set to a medium level. The operator can change
the friction as follows:
a) How to adjust the X-direction
•
Remove the additional sleeves (
1
and
3
) from the coaxial knurled knobs by loosening the
clamping screws.
•
Shift the X-coaxial knurled knob (
5
) downward and the Y-coaxial knurled knob (
7
)
upward.
•
Hold the X-coaxial knurled knob (
5
) and turn the light-colored knurled ring above it
6
) to the right (increased smoothness) or left (decreased smoothness) until you reach the
desired level.
b) How to adjust the Y-direction
•
Hold the Y-coaxial knurled knob (
7
) and turn the light-colored knurled sleeve above it
8
) to the right (increased smoothness) or the left (decreased smoothness) until you reach the
desired level.
•
Replace the additional sleeves and tighten the clamping screws.
NOTE
You can increase the service life of the stage by cleaning the specimen holder regularly and
avoiding particulates from the mechanical guide system of the X-motion.
