automate.it scara finger options

The automate.it scara robot has a choice of fingers for gripping microplates in:

• top grip (over the plate mode)
• side grip (alongside the plate)
• both

The fingers are selected for access of the plates mainly from storage but also from instruments.

Stacked plates (plates piled on top of one another) require a top gripper or dual function gripper.

Racked plates (plates stored on individual shelves) require a side gripper or dual function gripper.
