“pr0nk2ind”
I've acquired 2 or 3 K2 IND systems and have mixed/matched parts to combine them into a working system
pr0nk2ind mk1
Given the quality of this system and how much I bid to get other systems, this system has been surprisingly low cost to build.
Combining parts into a working high quality system composed of:

K2 IND: eBay
210 mm optics
Came mostly complete save objectives. Got a Nikon BD Plan 20x objective off of eBay but unfortunately its scratched a little :(. Might not hurt image quality too much though.
K2 IND: disposition services (Zygo)
Above: system at auction. Trivia: the CRT said Micron Technology on it…must have come from them
Intended to be a mask aligner. Infinity system
Very heavy! Estimate 700 lbs
Came as a complete system minus control system:
- Mercury burner w/ PS
- Fiber illuminator w/ PS
- Nikon CF Plan objectives (4). Something like % * 5x
- 10x
- 20x
- 100x
- TMC pneumatic anti-vibration table
- Motorized servo XY table
- Motorized Z axis (course focus)
- Piezo Z axis (fine focus)
This page is about piecing it together to try to get it working again
It came with a very small subsection of the user man. I was able to contact Zygo and get some more info

Had a neutral density filter rattling around when I got it. Have not looked to see where it came from. Have not tried spinning it up

Have this sort of working using Gecko drive but not very well

Motor details
Motor: Harmonic Drive “HiT Drive SERVO ACTUATOR, RH-11-6001-E100DO5”
- Encoder (sold with motor): ENCODER-02A 1000P /R
Website decoding of RH-11-6001-E100DO5:
- RH Type: RH mini series
- 11 size 11
- 60 Output shaft rated rotational speed (r/min) 60 r/min
- 01 Rated output (W) x10 10 W
- E incremental encoder
- 100 encoder resolution 1000p/r
- D Encoder power supply 5-12
- Case says 5V
- O: open collector
- aha!
- 5: ?
- Not a special suffix
- indicates 5V operation?
Encoder details
Cover removed:
Glass rotary encoder with open drain outputs.
I opened this up because I was having trouble getting signal (2014-09-29) and thought it might have been broken. Now I know it was just an open drain vs actively driven issue.
Above: troubleshooting encoder signals
When I asked Gecko about my linear encoders they didn't seem that familiar with them (which seems a bit odd but w/e). In any case, they recommended the follow qudrature encoders:
- CUI AMT102-V
- US Digital quadrature encoder

Removed, but would be nice to get it working at some point

XY servo motor stage
DC servo system with glass linear encoders. Switched out for stepper system for quicker bring up but might eventually put it back on

Disposition Services microscope stand
XY stepper motors and a reasonably heavy duty (not as heavy duty as the Zygo) manual Z axis.
I believe this was from a K2 IND, or at least something very similar. The XY stage (and maybe z too) footprint is compatible with the disposition services unit
At the time I didn't have a use for it but bought it on speculation since it was pretty inexpensive (about $120 total IIRC)
