System has two Carrier Positioners
Each carrier positioner consists of:
• Carrier Positioner Drive Assembly
- Motor, Lead Screw, Carrier Positioner Board, and Encoder Sensor
• Carrier Positioner Carriage
- Glass filled plastic assembly with four carrier pockets
- encoder track on underside
- teflon foot on left end
The Carrier Positioner Carriage sits on top of the drive assembly and has an encoder track that is used with
the encoder sensor. The encoder sensor detects the position of the Carrier Positioner using the encoder
track on the Carrier Positioner Carriage.
