Rev 3a - 480221 - Alignment Guide for ASX-560 and ASX-280 Autosamplers

Description: 

When to Align the Autosampler
Alignment is critical to the autosampler’s ability to operate reliably.
Alignment should also be performed if you suspect that shipping or rough handling may have disturbed the autosampler’s chassis, or when an autosampler component such as the Z-drive has been replaced.
Origin Alignment
Origin alignment sets the location of the home position so that the sample probe is centered in the rinse station. This alignment is done by setting offsets in the autosampler firmware. No mechanical adjustments are required.
Full Alignment
Full alignment sets the location of the sample vials and standards vials in relation to the rinse station. This alignment is done by setting offsets in the autosampler firmware. No mechanical adjustments are required.
