Introduction
1.1 Introduction
The RSH-600 rotary sensor, see
, is designed for the most demanding
processes employing very thick films and several different materials. Switching the 
crystal without venting the system makes it possible to run automatically with 
continuous deposition. The fixed position of the crystal being measured also makes 
it unnecessary to change the tooling factor. 
The RSH-600 can be used to deposit a different material on each of six crystals 
providing greater measurement accuracy. Upon completion of deposition of one 
material, the deposition controller may be programmed to switch crystals for the 
next material. It may also be actuated manually.
The RSH-600 sensor holds six crystals in a thermally shielded, water cooled 
housing, insuring excellent crystal performance in temperature environments up to 
300ºC. Crystals are housed in an easily removable Teflon
®
and stainless steel
crystal holder.
Crystal position is incremented by applying a one second pulse to a 110/115 V (ac) 
or 24 V (dc) pneumatic valve. A 7-pin connector provides an indication of the 
number of the active crystal. This may be used to interface with a thin film controller 
for automatic crystal switching operation. Refer to your controller operating manual 
for programming instructions.
