※ Before Disassembly / (Re)assembly / Adjustment

　On this lens, the VR (vibration-reduction) unit is mounted to correct the picture blur.

　In order to maintain the functional accuracy of the picture blur correction, if detaching the VR

(vibration-reduction) unit and gyro base plate or if removing the main PCB unit, be sure to adjust the VR by

using the VR lens adjustment equipment (J15380）.

　However, if disassembling the parts except the above, the VR adjustment is NOT necessary.

At service agencies where the "VR lens adjustment equipment" is not prepared, do NEITHER disassemble

NOR repair the products of the above case.

Caution:

① When disassembling, make sure to memorize the processing state of wires, screws to be xed and their types, etc.

② Because prototypes are used for "Disassembly/(Re)assembly/Adjustment", they may differ from the actual

products in forms, etc.

③ Because pictures are processed by a special method, they may differ from the actual ones in texture.

Points to notice for Lead-free solder products

　・Lead-free solder is used for this product.

　・For soldering work, the special solder and soldering iron are required.

　・Do NOT mix up lead-free solder with traditional solder.

　・Use the special soldering iron respectively for lead-free solder and lead solder.

They cannot be used in common.

If there is a problem with continuity between the contacts of the self-made tool and the relay FPC,
the contacting surface of the relay FPC may be dirty, eroded, or oxidized. So polish the contacts and
connect them.

2. Preparation of the lens for measurement

　　・

Assemble the MR-head-attached zoom index ring unit, the SWM, and the MF ring into the lens body.

Then connect the assembled lens to each measuring machines as follows:

1. Press the FILTER button.

2. Select “Smooth” of the menu on screen and turn it ON.

Note:

Amplitude of all pulses/

waveforms is 80mV or more.

Check the waveform by moving the

In case the amplitude is small, disassemble up to

the stage of the GMR sensor FPC unit. Then if the
deformation is detected in the MR head, correct the
deform of the MR head. On the other hand, if such
correction is impossible or no deformation is detected,
replace the GMR sensor FPC unit. (Fig.2)

Note: When adjustments are made, prevent the

magnetic surface and MR head from touching the
magnetized driver bit. Otherwise, the magnetic
data may be damaged.

　How to adjust

　① Make sure that the electric current and voltage of the connected rated voltage power supply are set to the

set values, which are instructed on the PC screen. Then, turn the rated voltage power supply ON.

　② Select "1. MR DUTY ADJUSTMENT" in the menu of the AF-S VR18-200 inspection program.

　③ The conrmation screen for writing the xed values in EEPROM appears. Select the appropriate item.

　④ Following the instruction on the screen, rotate the MF ring slowly by hand in the direction from the innity

to the close distance position. Make sure that the waveform on the oscilloscope has duty 50% and stop the

MF ring at the close distance-end.

Adjustment of Driving frequency and Motor control

● In case of replacing the main PCB, SWM unit and MR encoder unit, be sure to make adjustments.

　① The method of connection of the rated voltage power supply and measuring tools is the same as

"ADJUSTMENT OF MR DUTY".

　② Make sure that the electric current and voltage of the rated voltage power supply are set to the set values

on the PC screen.

　③ Turn the rated voltage power supply ON.

　④ Select "2. ADJUSTMENT FOR DRIVING FREQUENCY & MOTOR CONTROL" in the menu of the

AF-S VR18-200 inspection program. The lens automatically starts the driving of scanning.

Fig.1

When the above Fig.1 is displayed, if the motor driving stops, select "Yes" to complete the adjustment.

　⑤

In case the motor does not stop driving, select "No " to make adjustments again.

In case the motor does not stop driving even after the readjustments, adjust the MR duty again and repeat

"ADJUSTMENT FOR DRIVING FREQUENCY & MOTOR CONTROL".

If the adjustment is not successful in spite of the above, the SWM unit, x-tube unit, or MR head unit

may be defective.

How to create Setting board of "Lens alignment chart" and "Viewer"

1. Summary

1-1: In order to get necessary data for lens alignment, this board is created to use for setting a special chart and light

viewers (for chart illumination), while taking pictures of the special chart with a digital camera.

2. Preparation

2-1:Prepare a board (760 x 880 x 20 mm) or 2 package cardboard boxes (size 2.33).

(Note) Because you have to cut out the shape to embed light viewers, choose package cardboard boxes (size 2.33) or

material which can be easily cut. － ref. Fig. 1

3. Procedure （In this document, 2 package cardboards are used）

3-1: As for the 1st attened cardboard box (size 2.33), check the positions for embedding the light viewers, and cut out

the shape at 5 locations (shaded parts/size 154 x 245 mm) as shown below. － ref. Fig. 2

(Note) Cutting the shape slightly smaller than the actual size of viewers makes it easier to t the positions of viewers

tightly.

3-2:Put the 2nd attened cardboard box (size 2.33) and the above cut-out 1st cardboard together as one, and x them by

taping at 4 sides. － ref. Fig. 3

3-3:Then as for the 2nd attened cardboard box, cut out the shape again by matching the cut-out size of 3-1 for each

viewer. － ref. Fig. 4

3-4:Reinforce the edges of cut-out parts with tape.

(Note) To prevent viewers falling off, secure them with tape around the edges.　－ ref. Fig. 5

Aberration compensation data writing adjustment

This adjustment uses the software which calculates the aberration compensation data according to

・

the feature of lens aberration and writes in EEPROM of the lens, in order to improve the accuracy of

autofocus.

Note: This adjustment is necessary when the main PCB and/or each lens part (glass, lens chamber)

is replaced or when each lens part is disassembled. Be sure to make this adjustment after

completing inspecting and adjusting the main PCB.

(3) Writing aberration compensation data

① Prepare a camera (D100). Set the "Exposure mode" to "A" for full aperture and "Focus mode" to "S".

On the shooting menu, set the "Image quality mode" to "FINE", "Image size" to"L", "WB" to "Preset",

and "ISO" to "200".

② Set up the camera (D100), in which the lens to be inspected is t, on the tripod

200 mm, and the distance between the test chart and camera (CCD face) to 8 m ±2 cm.

　⑧ Click the "JPEG Shot" button.

⑨ The shutter is released after the AF operation. The shot image is automatically displayed on the PC

screen.

Scale the image to 100% and check which chart is in focus of the 5 resolution charts.

Caution:

Because this lens has a deep focal depth even if the aperture is fully open, when looking for the center

of focus, compare two distant charts between which there are two or more charts.

　⑮ The reconrmation screen is displayed.

　⑯ An hourglass is displayed on the screen, and writing starts.

The below screen is displayed after a few seconds. Turn camera OFF and turn it ON again.

Click "OK", and the adjustment software restarts.

Note: Unless the camera is turned off once, the value that was written in EEPROM is not reected.

Click "OK".

When the adjustment software restarts, perform the operations from ② to ⑫ again. Check that

　⑰

"0μm" of the AF position is in focus.

(It is also possible, after Wide-side shooting of ⑫, to take the Tele-side shooting of ②.)

If "0μm" is not in focus, repeat the operations from ② to ⑰ .

If it is not still in focus even after repetition, the written value in EEPROM may be abnormal. So click

"Design value Rewriting" to write the initial value, then proceed with the operations.

Making of Self-made Tool

● To inspect and adjust the output waveform of MR encoder, it is necessary to make a self-made tool by using

the main PCB (IS020-426) of repair parts. (If there is a defective main PCB after replacements/repairs, use

the defective one.)

Make a self-made tool according to the following procedure.

Use this range.

Main PCB

① Remove the mounted parts/elements (condenser,

transistor, IC, etc.) from the both faces of the

PCB within the range of the dotted lines. (See

Connector

Solder the three wires on the pattern of

the left.) Do not remove the connector.

(The parts/elements are not always needed to

be removed, if they are not affected by the next

cutoff or soldering.)

② Cut off the PCB along the dotted lines.

Solder the one wire on the pattern of the

back-side PCB.
