Swing direction
Left-swinging (swing direction +) or right-swinging (swing direction –)
model versions are available as different types of robotic arms. Left-swing-
ing means swinging from the initial position (pointing towards the middle
of the rack) outwards to the left.
In the case of a Sample Processor with two towers, a right-swinging
robotic arm must be mounted on Tower 1, a left-swinging robotic arm on
Tower 2. If the alignment is incorrect, the two robotic arms could possibly
come into contact with one another, resulting in damage to the drives.
3.6 Mounting the robotic arm
Depending on the model, robotic arms can be mounted as either right-
swinging or left-swinging. The position of the limitation screw of the
robotic arm must be taken into account during assembly. The limitation
screw must face the tower of the Sample Processor during the mounting
of the robotic arm. The following illustration shows on the left the posi-
tion of the limitation screw at a right-swinging robotic arm (Position 1)
and on the right with a left-swinging robotic arm (Position 2).

Figure 15 Limitation screw at the robotic arm
For robotic arms which can be mounted in two different ways (e.g.
6.1462.050), the limitation screw can be fitted in accordance with the
required assembly direction (see above).
Note
The configuration data of a robotic arm must be configured in the con-
trol software before it is mounted (see Chapter 3.5, page 22).
Mounting the robotic arm
The mounting of a robotic arm on the Swing Head is described here, tak-
ing as an example a 6.1462.070 robotic arm for titration and a
6.1458.040 titration head insert. Initialize the Sample Processor before
performing the mounting sequence.
