3-15 MEMORY
FUNCTION
The memory function is used to quickly find again
the same position for the first cuts.
This function can only be used on condition that
blocks, which have been embedded in the same
molds, are cut. The blocks must have almost the
same height.
•
To set the so-called "first-cut-position", move
the specimen clamping via coarse feed
function forwards until the specimen is almost
situated at the knife edge.
•
To store this position, press the button MEMO
(fig. 67.1) for approx. 1 sec.
•
"Pos. stored" is then briefly shown on the
display.
•
Then proceed with the routine work (trimming,
first-cuts, fine sectioning).
•
When the work on the block has been
finished, briefly press the MEMO button. The
specimen clamping then moves backwards,
•
Unclamp the specimen and insert a new
specimen.
•
The specimen surface is now in the "first-cut-
position".
Warning:
The stored cutting position can only be
used effectively when blocks with the
same height are cut. Neither
adjustments on the knife carrier must be made nor
must the knife carrier be moved on the consoles.
Warning:
When moving the knife carrier on the
dovetail guide, a new first-cut-position
must be selected as otherwise the
danger of a collision with injuries might arise.
•
When turning on the instrument later again,
the first-cut-position must be defined and
stored again for safety reasons.
