Change Needle Assembly

The Sample handler is positioning the needle assembly so that there is easy access for changing needle assembly or needle seat. The position is far to the left of the needle park station, and the motors are de-energized. So, the Z-drive of the robot can be moved during maintenance of the module.

NOTE

For safety reason, you have to lock the needle assembly before you detach the needle from the robot. See Exchange the Needle Assembly.

NOTE

During normal operation, the needle assembly has to be unlocked.
