6.3.4 Rotors
Robot-controlled centrifuges require special rotors that are equipped
with magnets on the bottom surface (Fig 6.19). They are necessary in
order to ensure the correct position of the rotor. When the desired
position is reached, the rotor is locked mechanically. The slide cover
in the lid opens during the locking of the rotor either automatically
depending on the input command or separately following another
command.
During loading or unloading, the slide cover can stay open when the
rotor turns to the next position. This accelerates the process.

6.4 Switching the Centrifuge OFF
Open the centrifuge when it is not in use so moisture can
evaporate. This prevents the increased wear of the motor
bearings.
Press the mains power switch on the front of the right side.
