Opening and closing
clamps
The clamps in the stacker head close and open the grippers at the
bottom of the stacker rack to hold and release the first plate in position
for the robot grippers. Compressed air is used to move the clamps.
The clamps close and open the stacker grippers automatically during
the loading, unloading, downstacking, and stacking procedures. When
diagnosing problems or after an aborted run, you can use the
commands in BenchCel Diagnostics to open or close the clamps
(stacker grippers). For example, you might want to open the clamps
(stacker grippers) to remove a microplate.

might cause the microplate or stack of microplates to drop.

rack that you want to load or unload. In the command menu that
appears, click

close.
The clamps open or
