We tried to start recovering the absorption bench today by reactivating the translation-stage. For this step it is necessary to reset the position of the stage, but unfortunately we got problems with this especially for the vertical axis of the stage.
After some time of an unsuccessful try and error approach, we called Manuel and tried to redo the steps he was doing usually.

In the end, we could reactivate the whole stage by tricking the Zaber console (the PC program controlling the stage) which turned out to be the main burden for a proper reset since the predefined limits for the vertical axis made it impossible reach the "home" position manually.

Actually, I added a more particular description of what we have done in the GWPO wiki: here and here
