Hi, All Xl30 users,

 

The XL30 is down due to the chiller failure on Oct 14.

The part was ordered and delivered on Oct. 25

The chiller is back up running on Oct. 19

The SCSI (electronic printed board) error message and ODP oil level low message showed up during the system recovery.

The FEI service engineer is ordering new parts and will come back to work on the XL30 recovery.

 

The XL30 issue was solved and back up running on Oct. 21th

 

Thanks,

Hi, All Magellan Users,

On Oct. 10, a service call was made to deal with users report about imaging shifting. The service engineer came in and found that the e-beam source filament was not conditioned well (under heat) and current was too small (92uA). The more heating current was input to extract more current.  We would wait for more current and more stable.

Oct. 12, the e-beam current 180uA was observed. The source alignment was performed till 4:30pm.  Another service was planned on this Friday Oct 14.

Thanks,

Qiyin
