====== mcmaster conversion notes ====== TODO * Estimate official post size * Get machinist quote DONE * Gather pictures of reference systems * Get official quote from Logitech Verified I can unscrew the posts from the base When I showed sales rep pictures, was told I was recommended the following parts: * 1P5AC-1000: Vacuum chuck body and tube - to convert PP5D to PP5GT * 1P5AC-0600: Drive/conditioning ring assembly for PP5 Polishing Jig - grooved * 1P5AC-1200: Vacuum chuckface for PP5GT - annular grooves for 83mm diameter substrate * 1GAG-055: Bluetooth gauge with support clamp (jig serial number required) Follow up: 1P5AC-1000: doesn't my unit already have this? What is the difference between this one and mine? * this is a different part that allows for vacuum connection and interfaces with the new chuckface. 1P5AC-0600: my driving/conditioning ring face is smooth, the recommend one is grooved. Does this provide a process improvement? * Yes. The grooved chuck face allows for the polishing slurry to better access the sample. A smooth drive ring creates a damming effect and starves the sample of slurry. 1P5AC-1200: Will this mount to my existing chuck face body? * No. The post screws do in fact come out. I think they are just standard M6 optical posts (TODO: confirm). I don't need vacuum capabilities, where I think a lot of the complexity comes from. Options: * Buy all parts and get running. This is a significant sum, with the lowest cost part about what I paid for both jigs combined * Jury rig something (ie an SBT chuckface) onto the assembly. Replace with shorter posts * Design parts and get machine shop quotes. Most parts would probably be pretty simple to make since I'd be okay with wax mounting ====== Units ====== ===== mcmaster mechanical gauge ===== ===== mcmaster electric gauge ===== [[https://www.ebay.com/itm/Logitech-Model-PP5D-Precision-Polishing-Jig-with-Dial-Indicator-/142644352801?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=X6SVBKBUXcHuXCS8xYJ0LGXgf84%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc|Source]] {{:ebay:jbanas6:142644352801_pp5_e:0.jpg?400|}} {{:ebay:jbanas6:142644352801_pp5_e:1.jpg?400|}} {{:ebay:jbanas6:142644352801_pp5_e:2.jpg?400|}} {{:ebay:jbanas6:142644352801_pp5_e:3.jpg?400|}} {{:ebay:jbanas6:142644352801_pp5_e:4.jpg?400|}} ===== eBay corroded ===== [[https://www.ebay.com/itm/Logitech-Ring-Polishing-Head-with-Micrometer-Light-Rust/263455551315?hash=item3d572caf53:g:u6AAAOSwXMZaZ7yQ&autorefresh=true|Source]] Appears to have a 1P5AC-1000 (ie PP5GT vacuum version) {{:ebay:recycledgoods:263455551315_logitech_pp5:0.jpg?400|}} {{:ebay:recycledgoods:263455551315_logitech_pp5:1.jpg?400|}} {{:ebay:recycledgoods:263455551315_logitech_pp5:2.jpg?400|}} {{:ebay:recycledgoods:263455551315_logitech_pp5:3.jpg?400|}} {{:ebay:recycledgoods:263455551315_logitech_pp5:4.jpg?400|}} ===== eBay PP5GT NIB ===== [[https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Logitech-PP5A-PP5D-PP5GT-LP50-Polishing-Jig-1PP52-1PP55GT-Chemlox/202180186822?hash=item2f12e0d2c6:m:m5umtO5qEwTIro63XIB_NaA&autorefresh=true|Source]] {{:ebay:xenop:202180186822_pp5gt_nib:0.jpg?400|}} {{:ebay:xenop:202180186822_pp5gt_nib:1.jpg?400|}} {{:ebay:xenop:202180186822_pp5gt_nib:2.jpg?400|}} ===== eBay PP5GT w/ accessories ===== [[https://www.ebay.com/itm/Logitech-Polishing-Lapping-Programmable-Jig-PP51GT-with-all-accessories-as-new/323014248714?epid=20009174374&hash=item4b3526490a:g:wksAAOSwi0xaBcW5|Source]] {{:ebay:geomin77:323014248714:0.jpg?400|}} {{:ebay:geomin77:323014248714:1.jpg?400|}} {{:ebay:geomin77:323014248714:2.jpg?400|}} {{:ebay:geomin77:323014248714:3.jpg?400|}} {{:ebay:geomin77:323014248714:4.jpg?400|}} ===== eBay PP5GT w/ hose ===== [[https://www.ebay.com/itm/Logitech-PP5-Jig-with-vacuum-chuck-unused-angular-adjustment-plate-and-misc-/112596274216?hash=item1a3742cc28%3Ag%3AI-YAAOSwuMZZEfmi&nma=true&si=X6SVBKBUXcHuXCS8xYJ0LGXgf84%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557|Source]] {{:ebay:targettechnologycompany:112596274216_pp5_hose:0.jpg?400|}} {{:ebay:targettechnologycompany:112596274216_pp5_hose:1.jpg?400|}} {{:ebay:targettechnologycompany:112596274216_pp5_hose:2.jpg?400|}} {{:ebay:targettechnologycompany:112596274216_pp5_hose:3.jpg?400|}} ====== References ====== References * Brochure: http://www.sun-way.com.tw/Files/DownloadFile/PP5.PDF * I was also able to contact a sales rep for a 60 page "Operation and Maintenance Manual: PP5 and PP6 Precision Polishing Jigs"
