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 parkstation, and the current to the motors are off, so that the Z-drive of the robot can be moved while servicing the module.

NOTE

For safety reason you have to lock the needle assembly before you detach the needle from the robot. Refer to Remove the Needle Assembly and Install the Needle Assembly.

NOTE

During normal operation the needle assembly has to be unlocked.
