Description: Further refined for general cleanroom use, pneumatic-lock workholder with integral shear system. Shares filament-resistance-based temperature controls of earlier models.
Identify By: Faceplate logo, thinner cabinet profile, base-mounted transformer pods, dual analog jet controllers, 3"x3" travel workplate, center mounted optic post.
Problem Areas: Temperature control system, ball-bearing positioners tend to become scratchy over time. Workholder travel limited by cabinet supports so unsuitable for larger devices. Rear-mounted lamp panel creates maintenance access problems. Center optical post proved inconvenient.
Status: Obsolete, critical components in temperature control system are no longer commercially available.
Support: Some replacement parts available,
Overhaul Cost: Not available, but conversion to digital controls is feasible.
