Hardware components and axes of motion
Bravo Platform Quick Guide
If the Bravo Platform is fitted with a gripper, the gripper moves with the Bravo head. In
addition, the gripper has the following axes of motion:
• G-axis. The opening and closing distance of the gripper fingers, which enable the
gripper to grip and release labware.
• Zg-axis. The vertical distance the gripper arm moves, which enables the gripper to
extend beyond the pipette head.
