Automatic Tilt Correction/Leveling Tilted
Corrected
Automatic Sample Leveling Tilt adjustment (a standard feature) allows leveling the sample plane so it is parallel to the X/Y plane of the tool. Unevenly mounted or tilted samples can easily be leveled using this functionality. Contact on three points provides height data that is used to calculate the amount of adjustment needed. An automatic adjustment is made and it loops until the set tolerance has been achieved. Additional capability enables the operator to position the three points anywhere on the surface of the plane. The distance of lift between points can be set up to 20 mm to clear surface mount capacitors or other obstacles on the plane. The tolerance range can be defined from 0.5 to 100 Îźm. In cases where an angle other than parallel to the plane is desired, adjustment is also possible using the custom tilt function.
The difference in height between the points of contact on each axis are displayed on the touch-screen. Indication of tilt axis is provided by the +/- symbol/value.
