Light source spacing
« on: December 08, 2014, 01:01:52 PM »
Does anyone know or can someone point me to the post that talks about spacing for a "flip table" vacuum table and say a Olec unit? The distance between the two. I could of swore there was a thread that talked about where to start in terms of spacing.

Anyone?

about the diagonal of the area (screens) you are exposing. . .

This sheet from the old AL53 manual ought to help.

Somewhere aprox 1.5 times the diagonal of screen, before I had MSP3140 I had a flip top with a carbon arc exposure unit.
So totally understand it.

With the Olec's at least, it really depends on the reflector used. Some are super wide, others not so much.
