Tray Alignment
Align/Transport.
2 Put capped vials into positions #15 and #95 of the 100-vial tray.
3 Move the gripper arm to position of vial #15. Use the Enter key to hit Goto
Vial.
4 Use the Arm down key(F2) to move the fingers as close as possible to the top
of the vial, without the gripper fingers touching the vial.
5 Use the Up and Down arrow keys for Theta correction (rotational movement).
6 Use the Left and Right arrow keys for X-position correction (horizontal
movement).
7 Open the gripper (F4) and move it further down for about 5 mm in such a way
that vial cap and rubber of gripper fingers have the same height.
8 Visually re evaluate if the vial is in the center of the gripper fingers and correct
X- and Theta position accordingly.
9 Press the Enter key to hit Next Vial; enter vial #95 and press Goto Vial.
10 Repeat steps 4 to 8 to align the gripper at position #95.
11 Press button Average (F8) to balance the alignment.
12 Press button Done (F6) to store the alignment permanently in non-volatile
memory and to reset the module.
13 To check the result go back to the alignment dialog box, move to vial position
#15 and #95 to see if the alignment is acceptable.
NOTE To leave the alignment screen without changes use the Esc key.
NOTE The result can be a compromise e.g. if the X position at #15 and #95 are off to
the same side, then it is OK. However, if at both positions the correction still
should be in one direction or, if the failure in one position is larger than the
other, you must restart the alignment procedure with step 3. The same goes
for the Theta correction.
