[labnetwork] KLA-Tencor service

[Mark Weiler]

Hi Nava,

To echo Gary, I’ve seen a rebuilt Surfscan from Metrology Equipment Services that looked and worked awesome.  If their onsite services for profilometers are near that quality, they might be worth contacting.

Best,

Mark

Good Morning Nava,

I get the same treatment from KLA-Tencor since I don't have service contracts on our profilers.   When you get someone to do the work the quality is good.

There are some aftermarket firms that do service on KLA profilers.   One is Brumley South  www.brumleysouth.com<http://www.brumleysouth.com> , (704) 664-9251<https://www.google.com/search?q=brumley+south&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1#> .   I have looked into them in the past but never had work done.

A second is  Metrology Equipment Services, LLC the contact there is Jeff Cada  Info at MetrologyEquipmentServices.com<mailto:info at metrologyequipmentservices.com> 408-392-9100.   I have called them for advice and bought parts from them in the past.   Easier for me to buy parts from them than from the OEM.

Glad to see you in Philly.

Have a good day,
Gary

Dear all,

We’ve been having some difficulty with the service from KLA-Tencor on one of the profilometers we purchased (communication with them is not very clear, very high pricing for just initial problem evaluation etc…). Not sure if we’re approaching this the wrong way or could be the specific people we communicated with or something else…

Has anyone experienced this? Are there any recommended channels of communication that can assure we receive better service?

Thanks,
Nava
