  • Page 53 P1000 SERVICE SOFTWARE MANUAL 13. STAGE 2. Click the X-axis button in Hardware Limit min menu. Find the negative end position. There is clear visibility of the two end stop pins from the back. First, navigate the unit as close as touching the pin, and then move it away 110 ±10 µm. Click the Home button to set the Stage back to X zero.
  • Page 54 P1000 SERVICE SOFTWARE MANUAL 13. STAGE 4. Repeat steps in 13.2 and 13.3 in Y direction, too. Note that the end stop pins in Y are not visible. In this case, the sound of the collision and the changing value in the Pos field help find the end positions. At the end position, both opening arms must have minimal room for maneuver. If any of the arms is in contact, you must place a shim for a proper setting.
  • Page 55 P1000 SERVICE SOFTWARE MANUAL 13. STAGE 5.2. To find the negative end position, navigate the unit in negative direction until the motor behaves as described in step 5.

  • Page 56 P1000 SERVICE SOFTWARE MANUAL 14. SLIDE LOADING UNITS 14. Slide Loading Units 1. The setup interface of the slide loading unit is the most complex one in the software. In the middle of the user interface, there is a zoomable image to help you with the setting.
  • Page 57 P1000 SERVICE SOFTWARE MANUAL 14. SLIDE LOADING UNITS Here, the system already uses the end stops and does not run the units out of scope (does not collide them to the end stop pin). It determines its working areas that will require fine tuning later. However, there are positions where we can easily cause collision or damage. For example, in Z axis position, the Gripper arm can easily collide with the side of the microscope unit or the magazine compartments.

This is the Slide approach pos Z coordinate, click on the side panel to set this value.
  • Page 68 This coordinate is used by the system at initialization to detect slides after starting up. To adjust this coordinate, we use two P1000 Gripper positioning slides. One slide is placed in the middle magazine of the column to be set and the other one is placed in the Gripper Click the Sensor pos X button.
  • Page 69 P1000 SERVICE SOFTWARE MANUAL 14. SLIDE LOADING UNITS 4.4. The Top slide position means the X and Y coordinates of the top slide in the current magazine.
