Framing the Gripper
A Beckman Coulter Service Engineer frames the gripper during system installation; however, it may
be necessary to repeat the framing procedure if:
• the head is changed.
• gripper fingers are replaced.
• extraordinary circumstances occur, such as accidentally bending a gripper.
Before framing the grippers, make sure:
• instrument is homed (refer to Homing All Axes of the Pods).
• deck position is framed prior to framing the gripper to that location (refer to Framing Deck
Positions on the Biomek NX Using AccuFrame).
• AccuFrame is installed on the appropriate position (refer to Installing AccuFrame).
• framing fixture is not attached to the Multichannel Pod.
To frame the grippers:
1
Choose Start > Programs > Beckman Coulter > Biomek Software to start the Biomek Software.
2
From the Instrument menu, choose Hardware Setup. Hardware Setup appears.
3
Choose the Multichannel Pod. The configuration to frame the gripper appears on the right
(
