1.0 Introduction
The Labnet Orbit™ Digital Shakers are intended for shaking microliter plates, tubes, bottles, flasks, dishes and other laboratory
vessels. The shakers are driven by asynchronous motors, which enable silent operation and constant shaking speed independent of
the load or power supply fluctuations.
Each shaker device consists of two main components:
Motor with eccentric mechanism
Control electronics
The motor drives the shaker’s eccentric mechanics and generates shaking effect. The electronics control the motor RPM, TIME, and
keyboard functions.
2.0 Safety Precautions
