5.2.1 Setting up the capillary
– Move the motor module to its top, outermost position.
– Mount the capillary with the capillary holder such that the tip of the capillary is
approximately 20 mm above and 20 mm outside the working point.
– Adjust the height or the position in X direction as necessary.
By means of the positioning aid (section 4.2.3) the universal capillary holder can be dismantled
and refitted in the tool mount as necessary. This does not affect the alignment.
5.2.2 Custom adaptation of the speed
(Coarse, Fine, Extra fine)
Press and hold down the key of the selected speed mode to reduce or increase
the speed at maximum joystick deflection. This is done in five stages, halving
each time. The lowest level reached is the largest, signalled by a long tone.
Alternatively, the turn wheel can be turned towards the rear (increase speed) or
front (reduce speed).
5.2.3 Storing and selecting position
Press the "Pos 1" key to store and select a tool position. Storing and selecting the
position makes relocating the tool much easier.
To store the current tool position, press and hold down the "Pos 1" key. Any
existing stored position is overwritten. The store operation is acknowledged by an
acoustic signal.
Tapping the "Pos 1" key causes the tool to move to the stored position. The default speed of
this movement is 5 000 µm/s. If no position is stored a short acoustic warning signal is
delivered.
To clear the stored position, move to the position and press and hold down the position key.
Alternatively, the position can also be cleared by way of the reset function.
If the capillary is not at the stored position, press and hold down the key to overwrite the
position.
