[labnetwork] Instrument Relocation During Warranty Period - Best Way

[Morrison, Richard H., Jr.]

Hi,

When we moved the Draper MEMS fab into the new space back in 2012 we did the following:

Photos of all facility connections, recorded part numbers of all connections, gas, water, electrical. When me moved the tool we moved plugs, regulators and other connections.

Labeled all connections.

Recorded all gas pressures, voltages and exhaust values.

Created a notebook with all the information on each tool.

Performed a qualification on each tool and created a report.

Read the manual to place the tool in a safe mode.

Move the tool and connect it back up.

Ran the qualification test and compared it to the pre move test.

Hope this helps. Call if you need help or need clarification.

Any advice is appreciated.

We applied and got a large instrumentation grant a year ago, but the new building wouldn't be ready for a while, so we started to bring equipment in the current building to get researches started.  We purchased some relocation service on a few instrument, but most of them we didn't buy relocation and we only bought extended warranty.

Do any of you have experience relocating any one of these machines during warranty period?  Any advice?

1. Novacentrix Pulseforge 1300:  a photonic curing and sintering machine 2. Dimatix Material Printer DMP-2831: A piezoelectric inkjet printer 3. Optomec AJ300 Printer: An Aerosol Jet Printer 4.  J.A. Woolam RC2 Ellipsometer:  an ellipsometer with vertical base 5. Zygo Nextview 3D Optical Profiler

Thanks very much.
