Crystal Mounting Robot 

SBC robotic sample changer

The SBC bending magnet automated sample mounting system increases crystallographic data collection throughput and decreases the amount of work required by the user. Currently, available functionality includes automated crystal mounting, crystal exchanging and crystal dismounting, click-to-center crystal alignment, and phosphor mounting. These features make the automated system quicker than manual operations.

The documents linked to below, outline the procedures for the use of the sample changer system. Important items presented include the loading of samples into magazines, the loading of the magazines into the robot dewar, the starting of the robot, and the shutdown of the robot. In addition there are two appendices: Appendix A: Magazine location diagram and Appendix B: Error codes and recovery procedures.
