Close dog adjust:
l
above (positive value), or how far below (negative value) the top of the skirt that the
dogs will close.
Lid point grip offset: When gripping a lid, how far below the top of the lid the gripper
l
fingers will contact.
Plate point grip over long side
l
skirt the gripper fingers will contact; a negative value means the plate will be gripped
on the skirt.
Point grip release gap:
l
under plate grip), how far above the carrier the base of the plate or lid is when
releasing it (i.e., how far it will drop).
Plate clearance: When moving a plate or lid over another plate or lid on the carrier,
l
how much vertical clearance is allowed between the plates or lids.
Loose grip offset: When using an under-plate grip, just before moving into a carrier,
l
the gripper fingers are separated slightly to allow the plate to adjust horizontally to the
carrier it's being placed in. Loose grip offset is how much wider the fingers are
compared to the defined plate width.
Lid overlap: When placing a lid on a plate, how far the lid is overlapped with the top of
l
the plate before switching from a slow to a fast vertical move. If this value is zero,
then the entire vertical move is fast.
Stay-on lid: Identifies qualifying labware, i.e., certain low-density microplates that
l
meet dimension requirements.
