[labnetwork] SUSS mask aligners spare parts

[Lewis,William]

Hi Nava,

We had the same failure on our MA6.  We purchased a new VCU from Suss and it didn't fix the issue.  There was a signal loss somewhere else in the system.  So..... I bypassed the Suss video system entirely and bought video processor (link below to similar)and just connected left and right microscope cameras to the video processor.  This provides split screen live image of left and right cameras.  It's been like this for about 10 years and works fine for us.  You lose the ability to store an overlayed image (i.e. Grab Image Key) for alignment needed for high mag alignment.   We get around that by marking the monitor screen with a Sharpie.  Sounds crude but works great!  The new $8000 Suss Video Controller Unit was a waste of money in our case.

Hi all,
It was great to see everyone at the UGIM earlier this month.
We need to replace the video card of our SUSS mask aligner (MA6). Lead time from the vendor is 6 months...
Any leads on alternative vendors for mask aligners parts would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Nava
