Alignment of the Well Plate Carrier
The well plate carrier hovers over the magnetic x/y table. For a smooth and proper movement,
it is crucial that the table is kept dry and clean, and the carrier is properly aligned on the table.
Clean the x/y table with a soft tissue and pure alcohol.
Click on the icon to open the "Manual Mode" dialog.
Activate the air cushion by clicking on the "Air Cushion" button. Now it is possible to move
the carrier carefully by hand. Switch the Roboinject off for cleaning the x/y table and the carrier.
After cleaning, switch the Roboinject on. Activate the air cushion again to align the carrier
precisely to the grid on the x/y table by hand. The air cushion will be automatically deactivated
when you close the "Manual Mode" dialog.
Important: A manual movement of the carrier is possible only if the Roboinject is switched
on and the air cushion is present. Please make sure that the compressed air pressure is sufficient
(minimum 3 bar).
Warning: Do not use aqueous solutions and / or cleaning agents for cleaning the magnetic
x/y table. Otherwise, the carrier and / or the x/y table can be damaged. Please make always
sure that the carrier is aligned to the grid of the table. Otherwise, a correct movement of
the carrier is not possible.
