3.2 Operating Principle
The mover is the transport system of the Charger. The mover shovel
transports sample racks and well plates from the shelf to the free
position in the yellow (Y) segment in the autosampler carousel through a
transfer opening in the right Charger side panel. In the same way, the
mover shovel transports the sample racks and well plates from the
autosampler segment Y back into their target position in the shelf.
The picture illustrates how the mover operates:
