Ch. 7. iDrive Imaging Sec. 7.2. Cleaning and Repair
Attention
You may ask why the acoustic AC mode piezo is necessary when the iDrive
system is available as an AC drive for the cantilever. Practically speaking, it’s
useful to switch back and forth between acoustically driving the cantilever and
using iDrive. Even if you don’t see the need, the next person using the cantilever
holder might, so it’s a good idea to perform the final piezo pre-load steps.
Tip Pogo pins
The pogo pins are spring loaded and carry the
signal to the cantilever clip. Be careful not to
bend them as you reinstall the cantilever clip
assembly.
• Start by placing the cantilever clip in place
• Loosely thread the retaining screw. Don’t
forget the washer.
• Use tweezers to help keep the clip from
rotating until the step on the back of the
assembly mates with the step that is
machined into the holder body.
