Procedure
Some users might have a Velocity11 mobile device table which holds an
external device that exchanges plates with the BioCel. The device is
mounted to this mobile table, which in turn is mounted to the BioCel.
This ensures the device's position does not change. This topic describes
how to dock and undock the mobile table.
Read this topic if you have a device external to the BioCel and want to
integrate it with a BioCel using a Velocity11 mobile table.
Two alignment rods and a threaded shaft are all permanently mounted
to the mobile table.
Two docking slots that receive the alignment rods and a T-nut that
receives the threaded shaft are permanently mounted on the BioCel.
The following diagram shows the table docked.
To engage the mobile table:
1. Move the mobile table so the alignment rods on the mobile table are
within the docking slots on the BioCel.
2. Check to be sure that the threaded shaft is positioned in front of the
T-nut.
3. Insert an 8-mm T-wrench in the end of the center threaded shaft and
turn it clockwise to screw it into the T-nut that is bolted to the BioCel.
4. Continue tightening the shaft until it stops.
The tightening of the threaded shaft will bring the alignment bolts
into their proper position.
