Adjusting the Z-Tower Height
2.1
General
Before the barcode reader can be used with the Gilson Liquid Handler´s robot arm, the
working height of the Z-tower must be adjusted.
2.2
Hardware
The barcode reader set contains two black anodized (i.e. has a black eloxation layer)
adjustment cylinders (one with a height of 127 mm, one with a height of 175 mm), which
aid you in mounting the Z-tower at the correct height. The 175 mm adjustment cylinder is
used for the adjustment when cooling racks are used. In either case the appropriate
value must be set up in the Gilson Control Software.
Be sure that you have the correct adjustment cylinder (black anodized). The origi-
nal gray cylinder has a height of only 124 mm and this may cause problems when
reading barcodes!
The first step in modifying the working height of the Z-tower is to turn the power off and
remove all the racks from the Gilson Liquid Handler´s bed. Move the robot arms to the
center of the bed as shown in
"The Gilson Liquid Handler" on page 8
To achieve the 127 mm (or 175 mm when using a cooling rack) height, loosen the screw
on the back of the Z-tower and pull the Z-tower upwards slightly. Place the
black anod-
ized
adjustment cylinder between the bottom of the Z-tower and the floor of the Liquid
Handler´s bed. Lower the Z-tower until it sits on top of the adjustment cylinder. The scale
should then show the value 127 mm (or 175 mm when using a cooling rack). Tighten the
screw and remove the
black anodized
adjustment cylinder.
