    Introduction

    Before gluing the PI (Kapton Polyimide) baseplate isolator, we need to attach the positioning inserts to the baseplate using the insert gluing jig.

    Insert gluing procedure

    Step 1: Cleaning

    Clean the jig, pins and weight pieces with IPA (Isopropanol). If there is cured epoxy or carbon fiber residue on the jig, carefully peel it off with a razor blade or something sharp.

    Step 2: Placing baseplate

    Insert stops
    • Place the base plate on the jig and push it against the stops.
    • Stops are shown using yellow arrows.

    Step 3: Engage handle

    Fix the base plate with the pusher by pushing down the red handle
