The gripper Move and Approach commands are used when verifying teachpoints. In
the Gripper Teaching area:
•
Click Move to quickly move the liquid-handling head to a teachpoint above a
selected deck location and lower the gripper to the surface of the platepad.
•
Select the Approach height (mm), and then click Approach to lower the gripper to
the approach (offset) height. The offset height is the distance above the
teachpoint.
You can use the controls in the Gripper tab to jog the gripper in the Zg and the G axes of
motion.
To jog the gripper:
1
In the Jog Gripper Axes area, specify the distance (mm) to jog.
2
Click the direction button to move the gripper.
