3.5 786 Swing Head settings
If a 786 Swing Head with robotic arm is to be mounted then its configu-
ration data must be entered in the setup menu of the Sample Processor
before. The most important data:
• Swing radius (=length of robotic arm)
• Swing arm offset
• Max. swing angle
• Swing direction
Setup menu of the Sample Processor
Procedure:
• Switch off instrument
• Keep key pressed down and switch on the in-
strument again
• In the menu setup >changer setup select the submenu
>>swing head 1 .
• Make the following settings:
Axis distance
The axis distance is the horizontal distance between the axis of
rotation of the rack and the swing axis of the robotic arm.
Default settings:
axial distance 166.00 mm
Swing offset
The swing offset is the physical angle offset of the specific ro-
botic arm model, see the Instructions for Use for the 786
Swing Head.
Default values:
swing offset 8.00°
Max. swing angle
The maximum swing angle is the useable swinging range
(relative angle). The starting and finishing positions of this
range (as absolute angle positions) are determined by the
swing offset (see above) and the Swing Head drive. Because
of its construction, each robotic arm model has a different
value for the max. swing range, see the Instructions for Use for
the 786 Swing Head. This value can also be reduced if neces-
sary.
Default values:
Max. swing angle 117.00°
