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.
3.5 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 position 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 10 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 control
software before it is mounted (see Chapter 3.4, page 13).
Mounting the robotic arm
The mounting of a robotic arm on the Swing Head is described here, taking
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.
After the initialization of the Sample Processor, the drive disc of the Swing
Head is positioned as though the robotic arm were located in the outermost
position.
