Using the Y-axis lock

The Y-axis lock is the function available only with the stages
U-SIC64 and U-SIC4R2/SIC4L2.
1
If you lock the Y-axis lock lever in the arrow direction, the stage
movement in Y-axis direction (front and back) is locked and you can
move the stage only in the X-axis direction (right to left).
To cancel the lock, return the lock lever to the original
NOTE
position completely.
If the lock lever is unlocked insufficiently, the lever may be
worn to cause the problem that the lock does not work or
the wear powder may be generated.

The tension adjustment is a mechanism available only with the
stages U-SVRM/SVLM and U-SIC64.
1
Hold the X-axis knob a and when you raise the Y-axis knob b , the
adjustment knobs c and d appear.

Turning the X-axis adjustment knob c or the Y-axis adjustment knob
d in the arrow direction increases the tension and rotating in the
opposite direction decreases the tension.
· If you increase the tension too tight, the stage squeaks
NOTE
when moving or the stage does not stop accurately.
· Due to the long hour operation, the stage guide may shift
and the movable area becomes smaller in rare cases, but
this is not a failure. This phenomena can be solved easily
by the following remedies.
