Safety equipment and features
About this topic
This topic describes the safety equipment and features of the BenchCel Microplate
Handler that are required to protect operators from moving-parts hazards.
WARNING
Changing or modifying the BenchCel safety equipment may prevent the safe
operation of the BenchCel Microplate Handler, invalidate its safety compliance, and
lead to personal injury or property damage. Any customer who does not use the
supplied safety equipment or who modifies the supplied safety equipment assumes
full responsibility for providing an appropriate level of safety for its operators and for
providing the applicable safety compliance marking and documentation.
Shields
Make sure the BenchCel device is enclosed in the supplied shield. The shield restricts
access to the BenchCel robot while the BenchCel Microplate Handler is operating.
