Bucket levelling function Innovative feature for maximum process reliability Particularly for loading and unloading, exact positioning of the tubes or adapters to be picked up is critically important. The robot arm attempts to grasp them at a defined position. If the mating surface for the gripper is not at the prescribed position, malfunctions and/ or downtime can occur. The innovative bucket levelling function pro- vides a high degree of safety and reliability for centrifuge loading and unloading. Three movable metal pins in the bottom of the centrifuge chamber lift the bucket located below...
