12. Use the ML drive to move the spring horizontally along the T-bar. Move the indicator to one
side and then across the total length of the bar to the other side.
The instrument is horizontally aligned if the dial arm only moves several divisions back and
forth, but stays roughly in the same position.
The instrument is
not horizontally aligned if the dial arm continuously moves in one direction.
To select a new horizontal position:
(i) Loosen the rotation clamp (see Figure 35) and carefully adjust the manipulator into a new
position.
(ii) Retighten the clamp and repeat steps 1- 3.
NOTE: if you cannot horizontally align the instrument contact Leica Microsystems.
Vertical Alignment
The vertical path of the probe is controlled by the tilt of the instrument. This part of the alignment
procedure is to confirm that the vertical path is straight. To test this the dial indicator is moved
vertically up and down the T-bar.
As the primary plane of the tilt can be either in the AP or ML direction, select the appropriate
instruction set below:
For AP tilt (tilt is along the length of the instrument) see “AP Tilt” on page 39.
For ML tilt (tilt is along the width of the instrument) see “ML Tilt” on page 40.
