Alignment of the blade with the axis of oscillation.
The mechanism of the slicer controls the lateral oscillation of the blade within very
fine tolerances. Owing to manufacturing variations and tolerances in blades, blade
holder, etc., and inconsistencies in mounting the blade in its holder, the blade edge
should be aligned with the lateral motion to ensure the best possible cut with least
damage to the tissue.
The blade holder is secured by two screws to the oscillating faceplate. A third screw
locks the blade holder in position once the alignment procedure has been completed.
See the illustration below.
Fit the blade holder as shown and tighten the two upper securing screws - (tightening
torque = 30-40cN.m). Do not over-tighten the screws. The lower locking screw
should be tightened sufficiently to just grip the lower portion of the blade holder.
In order to facilitate alignment of the blade with the axis of travel and so minimise the
z axis deflections, the instrument uses a demountable calibration device.
