Cause: Thermal expansion/contraction, mechanical wear in positioning stages, or aging of optical components causing misalignment and loss of measurement precision over time.
Maintenance Indicators
  • Blurry or inconsistent inspection images on the display, indicating lens fouling or alignment issues.
  • Audible grinding or irregular motor noises from automated stages, suggesting mechanical wear or obstruction.
Engineering Tips
  • Implement a strict cleanroom protocol for lens handling and storage, using antistatic tools and HEPA-filtered environments to minimize contamination.
  • Schedule regular automated calibration checks using certified reference standards, and maintain stable temperature/humidity conditions in the operating area to reduce thermal drift.
