Setting Bravo Platform properties

When to set Bravo properties

If you are operating a Bravo Platform that has a robot gripper, use this procedure to ensure that the parameter values are set correctly.

Note: The Bravo robot gripper is an optional feature.

You must be logged in as an administrator or technician to perform this procedure.

Procedure

To set Bravo Platform properties:

1	Open the Labware Editor.

2	In the Labware Entries tabs, click the Bravo sub-tab.

3	Under Gripper Offset and Positions, type the Robot gripper offset. This is the height (mm) of the gripper above any teachpoint when the Bravo gripper is picking up or placing a microplate of this type.

 

4	Enter the Robot lid gripper offset. This is the height (mm) above the lid resting height at which to grip the lid. (Shown as b below.)

 

5	Select Ignore plate sensor during pick and place to tell the robot gripper to ignore the feedback from the microplate sensor during a pick and place for this labware. Typically, this is selected when troubleshooting.
