Setting friction torque of drive
knobs for X/Y adjustment of the
mechanical stage
(1) X drive
x
Push drive knob for X adjustment (Fig. 3-11/
4
)
right to the bottom.
x
Remove supplied adjusting pin (Fig.
3-11/
5
)
from the drive knob for Y adjustment
(Fig. 3-11/
1
) and insert into one of the holes of
the lower hole nut(Fig. 3-11/
3
).
x
Hold the drive knob for X adjustment
(Fig. 3-11/
4
) and turn the hole nut with the
adjusting pin in a clockwise direction (small
friction torque:
–
) or counter-clockwise (large
friction torque:
+
) until the desired freedom of
movement has been achieved (see Fig. 3-11).
x
It should not be shifted more than
one
revolution.
(2) Y drive
x
Push drive knob for Y adjustment (Fig. 3-11/
1
) right to the top.
x
Insert the supplied adjusting pin (Fig. 3-11/
5
) into the hole of the upper hole nut (Fig. 3-11/
2
).
x
Hold the drive knob for Y adjustment (Fig. 3-11/
1
) and turn the hole nut with the adjusting pin in a
clockwise direction (small friction torque:
–
) or counter-clockwise (large friction torque:
+
) until the
desired freedom of movement has been achieved.
x
It should not be shifted more than
one
revolution.
x
Re-insert the adjusting pin into the drive knob for Y adjustment (Fig. 3-11/
1
).
Set the friction torque on the mechanical stage with ergonomic, stationary X-Y drive
analogously. No tool is required for the purpose. The lock-nut (silver) of the respective drive
can be adjusted manually; hold the drive knob tight.
