Adjusting the teachpoint for the Bravo Plate Riser
Use the following procedure to adjust a standard platepad teachpoint to
accommodate the Bravo Plate Riser.
To adjust the teachpoint for the Bravo Plate Riser:
1
Place the Bravo Plate Riser on the platepad at the corresponding deck
location. Ensure that the Bravo Plate Riser is oriented so that the
crosshairs is at the back left corner.
Press down on the Bravo Plate Riser so that it is seated on the platepad.
2
In the
Jog/Teach
tab, click the
Location
list, and then select the deck
location that you are teaching.
3
In the
Approach height above teachpoint
box, type
50
, and then click
Approach
.
The Bravo head moves to the selected deck location, and then moves down
so that the tip is approximately 22 mm above the crosshairs on the Bravo
Plate Riser.
4
Carefully, use the
Jog Axes
controls to move the head down in smaller and
smaller increments until the pipette tip is about 1 mm above the crosshairs
on the Bravo Plate Riser.
Visually inspect the alignment to determine if the left- to- right (X) and
front- to- back (Y) positions of the tip are centered above the crosshairs on
the Bravo Plate Riser. If necessary, use the
Jog Axes
controls (Left, Right
and Forward, Back) to center the A1 tip above the crosshairs.
5
Carefully, use the
Jog Axes
controls to move the head down in tiny
increments until the pipette tip is as close as possible to the crosshairs on
the Bravo Plate Riser without touching the surface.
