FIB gun became unstable on last weekend. FEI engineer happened to be on site. He suggests that is necessary to change the gun parts. I have got a quote and an internal approval on Monday. PO request was sent to campus for approval on the same day. Waiting for the parts now…. Meanwhile, I contacted FEI service manager and asked for help for a quick solution to the parts.
FEI engineer replaced LMIS on 11/16 and tuned the FIB on 11/17. The FIB was up on 11/17.
UCI campus sent a PO to FEI on 11/13/2015. FEI shipped the parts to us on the same days. We should receive the part on 11/16/2015. FEI engineer will be on campus on 11/17/2015. The FIB is expected to be up on 11/18/2015 if everything goes smoothly.
