7. To start creating the new step, navigate to tab index C page 1 and
touch the Micro-G® Enable check box. You must check this box to
include this Micro-G® step in the recipe. If this step is to be
temporarily skipped the user can de-select the check box and the
step will not be executed.
8. Touch the “Production Initial Move (um)” to access the keyboard.
Enter a value in microns that the polishing fixture will move down
at the beginning of the step. If the user is starting from “Home”
with a known fiber protrusion length this move should be larger to
bring the unpolished fiber in proximity of the polishing film. If
starting from a “Load Fiber” film gap position this value will be
smaller because less movement is needed to get in proximity of
the polishing film.
9. Touch the “Feed Rate (um/Sec)” to access the keyboard. Enter a
speed value in microns/second that the fixture will move down
towards the film during repeated move steps.
10.Touch the “Step Move (um)” to access the keyboard. Enter a
distance value in microns that the fixture will move down
towards the film during repeated move steps.
11.Touch the “Number of Moves” to access the keyboard. Enter a
numeric value defining the number of times the fixture will move
down towards the film during repeated move steps.
12.Touch the “Dwell Time (sec)” to access the keyboard. Enter a
time value in seconds defining the time the fixture will rest
between moves during repeated move steps. This is the time the
object is being polished before being pushed down harder into
the polishing media.
