The various parameters of the Micro-G® recipe give the user
controls over how the fixture will move downward towards the
polishing film.
NOTE: If the user wants to use the machine as a “length setting”
apparatus for pre-setting the object protrusion before polishing that
is an option as well.
Micro-G® Process Setup
Once the hardware setup is complete the system is ready to be used.
The recipe setup and process creation interface are very similar to
what is found when setting up a normal polishing process (as
described in previous sections of this manual.) To define a Micro-G®
process:
1. Select the “Process Config” tab.
2. Create the new process in one of two ways:
a. Select the “New” button to define a process from scratch.
b. Select the “Duplicate” button to duplicate an existing
process (similar to the way normal processes are duplicated).
3. Enter the new process name as prompted. The process name can
include up to 26 alphanumeric characters and WILL NOT allow
spaces, dashes, or punctuation. Select “OK’ when the name is
completed.
4. Select the quantity (Qty) of connectors that will be polished for
this process using the down arrow to display a valid range of
numbers.
5. Select the Rework step associated with this step by choosing a
rework step number under the Rework drop down.
6. Select tab “C.” The parameters under tab “C” are used to define
the Micro-G® step Enable, Initial Production Move, Feed Rate,
Step Move, # of Moves, and Dwell Time. Press the down arrow on
the far right of the screen to navigate to index tab C - Page 2.
Page 2 parameters are used to define Final Dwell Time, Production
Film Gap, Load Fibers Enable/Disable, Load Position, and Film Gap
after Load.
