<div>Dear Colleagues,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The INFICON CI-100 crucible indexer on our 4-pocket e-beam evaporator has failed and since the assembly appears to be obsolete, we are having difficulty finding replacement parts. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Our original controller as well as a spare controller that one of our suppliers was kind enough to allow us to try out both display an “E” when attempting to drive the motor drive unit. When activated, the motor drive unit appears to want to move in the
proper direction but lacks the strength to complete the rotation. It therefore appears that this motor drive unit might be the issue. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A photo of the front page of the manual is attached for reference. I’m reaching out in the hopes that someone in our community might be able to share the name of an equipment vendor which might carry this unit. Any insights are greatly appreciated. Many
thanks.</div>
<div><br>

<div>Best regards,</div>
<div>Vito</div>
