Carefully remove the tray assembly from the anti-static bag. 4. Using a wire cutter, carefully cut the plastic tie securing the robotic picker to the end of the transport tray (Figure 24).
  • Page 20 5. Remove the small piece of foam from the robotic picker by pulling it gently outward (Figure 25). Figure 25 The robotic picker’s small piece of foam. 6. Gently rotate the robotic picker mechanism clockwise until positioned as shown in Figure 26.
  • Page 21 Transport Tray Assembly Replacement Guide 7. After rotating the picker, remove the large piece of foam from the picker mechanism by pulling the foam gently outward (Figure 27). Figure 27 The robotic picker’s large piece of foam. 8. Proceed to Install the Replacement Transport Tray Assembly on page 22.

  • Page 22: Install The Replacement Transport Tray Assembly

    Install the Replacement Transport Tray Assembly 1. Carefully place the new transport tray in the robotic rack and onto the alignment blocks (Figure 28). Figure 28 The new transport tray is placed onto the alignment blocks. 2. Replace the outer-most two gears on both the front and back of the transport tray. These gears are the ones that engage the cogs on the robotic rack (Figure 29).
  • Page 23 3. Using the snap ring pliers, secure the outer-most two gears on both the front and back of the library with snap rings (Figure 30). Figure 30 The transport tray gear snap rings. 4. Plug the power and control ribbon into the port on the underside of the transport tray (Figure 31).
  • Page 24 5. Insert the ribbon support bracket into the transport tray (Figure 32). • Lift the bracket up. • Engage the tabs. Figure 32 The ribbon support bracket. 6. Using the #2 Phillips screwdriver, secure the ribbon support bracket with the retaining screw (Figure 33).
