[labnetwork] fiji G2 Loading

[Carsen Kline]

Hello Peter,

I'm glad our videos were helpful - hit that subscribe button. Talking to our equipment engineer for the ALDs, he identified three major problem areas for the manual loader, all of which can cause dropped plates. One, the leaf springs break from fatigue. Two, the bearing assembly that holds the arm in place has two bearings supported in single shear with steel pins that can bend and allow the arm to droop. Three, the pins may loosen up from thermal cycling through contact with the hot plate.

I'm happy to chat more offline if you have any questions. The company also has helpful support through ALDSUPPORT at veeco.com for replacement parts and general inquiries.

Cheers,

Carsen
SNF

Dear B. and Frank,



Thank you both for your reply, I think what we are seeing is the same as this:



https://snfexfab.stanford.edu/guide/docs/operating-instructions/fiji12and3-loading-and-unloading-videos



in the final video from Stanford.  Seems to be happening very frequently though- (every few loads), and the video shows what happens but no solution.



Best regards



Peter

Dear Peter,



Yes, we have a Fiji G2 system with automatic hline loader.

We have problems loading the system every once in a while.

It’s important to make sure the operators check that the sample plate is touching the prong base completely before loading.

If else over time it can move further and further out.



Best regards,

Hello all,



Has anybody got a Fiji G2 ALD, if so have you had any issues with the loading system.



Cheers



Peter
