STARTUPCarl Zeiss Mounting the Standard Components Axio Scope.A138 M60-2-0007 e 05/08(4) Removing and mounting the additionalsleevesBoth gear knobs for the stages with the order no.432035-9030-000, 432035-9040-000 and432035-9050-000 are equipped with additionalsleeves for an even more sensitive adjustment ofthe object position. These sleeves can be removedin those cases when it is important to shift theobject more quickly.• Loosen both clamping screws (3 4 9 H 3 4 9 H Fig. 3-13/4) onthe lower additional sleeve (350H350HFig. 3-13/3) andremove them by pulling them down. Thenloosen both clamping screws (3 5 1 H 3 5 1 H Fig. 3-13/2) onthe upper additional sleeves (3 5 2 H 3 5 2 H Fig. 3-13/1) andremove them by pulling them down as well.• Mount the additional sleeves again on the gearknobs by proceeding in the reverse order.Tighten the clamping screws when you aredone.(5) Adjusting the friction (smoothness of operation) on both gear knobs of the ergonomicsThe smoothness of ergonomics operation is factory-adjusted to a mid degree. The operator can changethe friction as follows:a) How to adjust the X-direction• Remove the additional sleeves (353H353HFig. 3-13/1 and 3) from the gear knobs by loosening the clampingscrews.• Shift the X-gear knob (354H354HFig. 3-13/5) downward and the Y-gear knob (355H355HFig. 3-13/7) upward.• Hold the X-gear knob (356H356HFig. 3-13/5) and turn the light colored knurled ring above it (357H357HFig. 3-13/6) to theright (increased smoothness) or left (decreased smoothness) until you reach the desired degree.b) How to adjust the Y-direction• Hold the Y-gear knob (358H358HFig. 3-13/7) and turn the light colored knurled sleeve above it (359H359HFig. 3-13/8) tothe right (increased smoothness) or the left (decreased smoothness) until you reach the desireddegree.• Replace the additional sleeves and tighten the clamping screws.Enhance the life span of the stage by regularly removing the particles abraded from the objectcarriers. Avoid getting any particles in the mechanical guiding system of the X-adjustment.Fig. 3-13 Adjusting ergonometric drive
