About the BenchBot integration plates
Note: The BenchBot integration plates are supplied with the G5486A BenchBot
Robot (workstation configuration). The integration plates are optional and
recommended for the G5487A BenchBot Robot (standalone/component
configuration) to increase robot positioning stability and labware- handling
accuracy. If you do not use the integration plates, you must use another
method to secure the robot in position on the workstation table.
The BenchBot integration plates are flat, metal plates that can be assembled to
provide a stable mounting surface for the BenchBot Robot. Available in
different sizes, the integration plates can be combined to create custom- size
mounting surfaces to meet the needs of your laboratory. The position and
number of mounting holes in the plates can accommodate a variety of device
configurations that can be changed easily for different application
requirements.
In the following example, various plates are combined to accommodate a
workstation consisting of a BenchBot Robot, a Bravo Platform, a MiniHub, and
two Stackers.

The integration plates must be installed on a flat surface that is capable of
supporting the weight of the integration plates, the robot, and integrated
devices. For more information, see
