[Ma...] Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Dear Everyone, I would like to ask for your insights about the Metrotom 6's target. We have burnt through a target recently, and Zeiss did not find any root cause for it now. The maintenance was according to Zeiss' regulations. I would like to ask you if you have experience with burnt through targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ti...] Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 (edited) How many full rotations have you clicked as you have calibrated on that target? Are you using the cam plates 1 thru 5 that are available. We run 2 CTs from 6am-2am everyday so we rotate 1x per week and have all 5 cam plates, but I don't think we are gonna make it thru 3 cam plates without needing a new target. I just installed Cam plate 3 last week. There are too many burnt out spots that I'm not comforrable another CAM is gonna avoid them We also have an area that has a hole in the target and Ive marked the location when it will take about 5-8 clicks to avoid it. Are you able to just avoid the hole? I wanna say our hole 3mm in diameter. Have you asked for a quote from Zeiss yet? You could buy a base model 2025 Toyota Camry for the cost they quoted us. Ridiculous price for something that can be mailed in an envelope when a full size car is the same price. I asked them to justify the quote and no one got back to me. Think of all the engineering that goes into making a car, all the people that touch and build each car, and materials and electronics that go into each car...think about the supply chain and how many people's/familys lives that are supoorted by a single car sold? Now ask youself how can a circular 3"tungsten impregnated ring cost as much as a new car? Go shopping around after you get a new target quote.

[Ma...] Posted May 19 Author Share Posted May 19 Have your target been burnt through, like, is there a hole in it? Our had a hole in it and the vacuum was not sufficient, therefore we could not use the machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ti...] Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 This pic is from a year ago. How was your hole compared to this? We can maintain a vacuum so we are still operational and using this target. I'll dm you a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted May 22 Author Share Posted May 22 Our hole was way bigger than yours. Did you remove your target for this picture or was it a Zeiss technician? Do you also have 2 Metrotom 6? At what temperature does your cooler work? Do you use it at max power or something lower? Did you only got a quote or did order the new target? And who is gonna install the new target you or Zeiss? Did you get any information about the warranty and precision with the external supplier's target from Zeiss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
