Q150T - Instruction Manual
2.3.5
Fitting the Standard Stage
The Q150T is supplied with a standard stage (10067). For installation instructions for
other stages, see page 54. To install the standard stage:
1.
Ensure that the instrument is vented and in standby mode.
2.
Open the top cover fully so it rests against its backstop.
3.
If there is already a stage in place, remove it by lifting carefully upwards.
4.
Fit the standard stage by locating its shaft into the top of the stage rotation drive
spigot protruding from the baseplate and with a twisting motion pushing it gently
down until the collar around the shaft rests on top of the drive spigot (see below).
Figure 2-4.
Fitting the standard stage
You can adjust the height of the stage above the base plate by moving the
collar up or down the shaft. Unfasten the M3 screw with a hexagonal key,
slide the collar to the required position and retighten the M3 screw.
For maximum distance between the stage and the target, remove the collar
so that the underside of the stage rests on the top of the drive spigot. To
reduce the distance between the stage and target, fit the stage with the
alternative long shaft (10214 – supplied with stage).
When using small 1/8” pin stubs, it is advisable to unscrew the stage and fit it
upside down for easy access to the stub.
Note that the Q150T’s default tooling factors are based on a stage
height of 60mm from the base plate.
