Guidance on use of VCSMs
It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the production and handling of UHV components. The successful application of vacuum stepper motors requires an appreciation of their thermal as well as their mechanical properties. Compared to motors operated in a...
Python Wrapper for C# API
Guide on using Python wrappers with the SMD3/SMD4 C# API.
Maintenance and service
The SMD3 contains no user-serviceable parts. Cleaning If the instrument requires cleaning, disconnect the power and all other connections, and wipe it down with a cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild detergent. Troubleshooting Problem ...

This declaration of conformity is issued under the sole responsibility of the manufacturer. Manufacturer: Arun Microelectronics Limited Address: Unit 2, Bury Mill Farm, Bury Gate, ...
Gauge Filament Replacement
Tungsten filaments have an emission life of one to three years in UHV. The life will be dependent on the residual gases present, range of pressures and vibration coupled to the filament. Tungsten filaments become brittle in use and the most common causes of fa...
Introduction
The SMD4 stepper motor drive is a single-axis bipolar stepper motor drive, intended for use with AMLs range of vacuum-compatible stepper motors (VCSMs). It maximises motor performance while minimising temperature rise. Powerful software is supplied with th...

Assistance
In the first instance, contact the distributor or supplier of the equipment. Always quote the serial number of the instrument and firmware and software versions. Provide a written description of the problem. If the problem is related to a motor or mechanism ma...
Installation
Inspect the gauge structure before removing from the moulded clear plastic packing. Report any obvious damage to your AML Distributor before opening the moulded packing. Save the packing material, including the small foam plastic piece which restrains the flan...
Ion Gauge Cables
WARNING! The use of AML AIGLx cables is essential to achieve compliance with the EC EMC Directive, 89/336/EEC using AML and similar controllers. Extension cables are not recommended as these will prejudice compliance. 3, 6 and 9 metre cables are available, mod...
Ion Gauge Operation
New gauges must be operated carefully to achieve good results and long filament life. The filaments are under tension when new: run both filaments for a few seconds in emission to reduce and equalise the tension. Operate at low emission current in order to ou...
