4. Click Move to Sensor. The robot moves the first microplate into the
line of notch sensors.
5. Click the Jog/Teach tab and check the Notch Sensor readings. The
notches should have much lower readings than the corners. In
addition, the difference between the notch readings and corner
readings should be at a maximum.
In the following example, the Notch Sensor values indicate that the
microplate has two notches (3 and 7) and two corners (76 and 63).
6. To find the maximum difference between the notch readings and
corner readings:
a. Record the initial z -axis position (Z
initial
) in the upper left corner
of the BenchCel Diagnostics screen.
b. Jog the robot up or down, and then check the
Notch Sensor
readings. You can repeat this step until you find the maximum
difference between the notch readings and the corner readings.
c. Record the adjusted z -axis position (Z
adjusted
).
