+ | ====== Zeiss Standard 16 Motor Drive Installation ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | The procedure below outlines the steps necessary to install the ASI Z-Axis Drive onto the Zeiss Standard 16 microscope. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == To perform the following steps you will need the following tools: == | ||
+ | * medium Phillips screw driver | ||
+ | * 14mm wrench | ||
+ | * 3mm, .050 inch, 5/64 inch and 7/64 inch hex wrenches | ||
+ | * The 14mm wrench and hex wrenches are provided by ASI. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == The procedure has four parts: == | ||
+ | - Installing the back plate. | ||
+ | - Installing the anti-backlash gear. | ||
+ | - Installing and aligning the motor drive assembly. | ||
+ | - Installing the motor drive cover plate & fine focus knob. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Part 1 - Installing the back plate ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1.) The ASI back plate slides over the back arch of the microscope with the adjustment bar (large portion of the back plate) on the left side of the microscope. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2.) The ASI back plate secures to the back of the microscope with four “no mar” nylon tip set screws. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Part 2 - Installing the anti-backlash gear ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | 1) Remove the left fine focus knob from the microscope by loosening the set screw Located in the side of the knob using the 0.05inch hex wrench then sliding the knob off the shaft. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2) Remove the left coarse focus knob by first removing the nut using the 14mm wrench provided, then unscrewing the coarse focus knob. The nut and knob turn counter-clockwise to unscrew. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 3) Locate the anti-backlash gear. Screw it onto the coarse focus threaded bushing. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Part 3 - Installing and aligning the motor drive assembly ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | 1) Loosen the vertical adjustment screw just enough so that the adjustment bar can slide in the grove. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2) Remove the horizontal adjustment screw from the side of the adjustment bar. Use the 3mm hex wrench. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 3) Locate the motor drive assembly. | ||
+ | Slide the drive shaft to the outside. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 4) Orient the motor drive assembly with respect to the left side of the microscope so that the curved portion of the drive plate faces forward | ||
+ | |||
+ | 5) Position the motor drive assembly onto the adjustment bar so that the notches in the edges of the drive plate align with the ridges in the edges of the adjustment bar. Thread in, but do not tighten, the horizontal adjustment screw. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 6) While sliding in the drive shaft, maneuver the motor drive plate forward-and-backward, | ||
+ | |||
+ | 7) Position the hub clamp midway over the slotted portion of the drive shaft (over the fine focus shaft) and tighten in place using the 7/64 hex wrench. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 8) To insure perfect axial alignment, loosen the horizontal and vertical adjustment screws, then re-tighten while rotating the right fine focus knob. There should be no noticeable increase in friction as the screws are tightened. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 9) Using the .050 in hex wrench, loosen the small set screw in the small gear below anti-backlash gear. Rotate the anti-backlash gear until the black marks in the gear teeth are visible. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Part 4 - Installing the cover plate and fine focus knob ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | 1) Remove the three screws from the edge of the base plate. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2) Locate the original fine focus knob. Slide it onto the fine focus shaft extension until there is a small gap between it and the cover plate. | ||
