“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:

Image Vendor Model Description Source system Notes
Zygo / Tech Inst KMS310RT Chassis KMS310RT base / Z axis
Tech K2IND-KMS310 Illuminator KMS310RT

Missing the 5x, has a slot for it

K2 IND: Nikon 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.

Zygo KMS310RT

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. I believe this is sold by Zygo with major components from Technical Instruments and Nikon.

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

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

Piezo Z axis

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

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)
