672 Configuration
Max. swing range
0.0 ... [ 60.0 ] ... 330.0 °
Maximum usable swing range for specific robotic arm model. Each robotic
arm model has a different value because of its construction. This value
must be set according to the leaflet supplied with the swing head and can
also be reduced if necessary.
Swing radius
30.0 ... [ 110.0 ] ... 300.0 mm
The swing radius depends on the length of the robotic arm and, together
with the axial distance, is the most important parameter for exact movement
to a rack position. This value must be set according to the leaflet supplied
with the swing head.
Rotation offset
-270.0 ... [ 0.0 ] ... 270.0 °
Offset from the center of the tower to the center of the robotic arm, which
does not normally need to be altered. If a robotic arm must be mounted on
the tower so that it is offset to one side then this value can be determined
by the service technician during rack adjustment.
Swing direction
+ (clockwise rotation), – (counterclockwise rotation)
The swing direction of the robotic arm depends on the type of robotic arm.
For a 2-tower model the robotic arm at Tower 1 must swing to the right, i.e.
"–" and that at Tower 2 must be mounted "
+ " so that it swings to the left.
External position
In the dialog window External position # a swing angle and a specific work position
can be defined for each external position. Shift and rinse positions can only be de-
fined for all 4 external positions together (see Tower # properties). No special po-
sition can be defined for external positions.
Angle
Offset...[ 60.00 °]...(Offset + max. swing range)
Definition of the turning angle for the selected external position. The offset
is made up of a design-dependent angle (approx. 8-9°) together with the
robotic arm offset from the Robotic arm properties (see Robotic arm prop-
erties). The maximum swing range is also defined under Robotic arm prop-
erties.
Work position
[ 0 ] ... 235 mm
Definition of the work position for the selected external position.
