The robot assembly transports sample tubes to and from the interface gate
and moves sample tubes or cassettes within the Centrifuge module.

The robot performs the following actions:
•
Picks cassettes from the cassette buffer area during system startup.
•
Makes non-contact survey using a laser at the scale to verify the
presence of tubes and cassettes.
•
In the buffer area and Hettich unit, the gripper makes contact survey to
verify that cassettes are present.
