John, I just tried to adjust my Monitor after moving to another office, nope, that would work for those DELICATE moving, turning and tilting operations you wish to perform under your mircroscope. It´s vital to have the right materials, weight and area to have a solid support for your different UUT´s and at the same time a smooth and easy maneuverability of the plate ( I would call it "ruckelfrei"). Our plate is made out of solid stone 2cm thick and 40cm in diameter enough to give the appropriate support for our assemblies that range from 5cmx5cm to 36cmx32cm. The first prototypes were made out of kitchentools back in the 80ties just to test the principles and have developed over the years to more practical and adequate size and materials. I think that similar devices exists and if they do their job as needed ... It´s hard to convince me of something but quoting one equipment supplier, if I´m convinced he´s sure to have the right thing. The small items, the details amke the success Wolfgang -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Thorup, John [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Gesendet am: Montag, 30. Juli 2001 21:40 An: [log in to unmask] Betreff: Re: [TN] German Inspection Jig/Support I'll bet most of us have one of these lurking in some dusty corner already. A little ingenuity and one of those ball and socket pan/tilt assemblies that used to come with computer monitors could be the ticket. I know I have one here somewhere...where did I last see that thing?
