E5010-61532 Keysight Z-Height Adjustment Tool

Agilent's Hard Disk Read/Write Test System contains state-of-the-art mechanical and electronics components. This product overview provides information on the key components and capabilities of the system.

There are several key changes from the Agilent E5010B spin stand. Both the E5010C and E5013A spin stands mark the introduction of a new Head Load Mechanism and associated cassette amplifier. At introduction these components will provide greater than150K TPI capability.

After coarse moves the X and Y stages have the air replaced by a vacuum thus locking the stages to the Granite. This results in the X and Y stages becoming literally as solid as a rock. There are clamp options available to support 1.8, 2.5, and 3.0/3.5 diameter disks. The coarse X and Y positions, as well as, the spindle RPM are controlled by means of an RS-232 data link directly from the PC to the motion controller. The DSP based multi-axis controller can easily handle this application. Either an "up" or "down" head is held on the top surface of a disk. As part of the system setup the user describes physical dimensions of the head-to-disk geometry so that the system can match the skew-versus-track number behavior of the target drive or the user can specify the track-andskew angle independently. Mechanical alignment is not required when using new HGA geometry, rather a few dimensions simply need to be updated in a data file. The new 150K TPI type spin stands are controlled by the E5035B spin stand interface VXI module.
