Moving the Robot
2. Push on the back of the reach mechanism until the gripper is extended to its full
position, as shown in Figure 6-3.
3. Hold the solenoid on top of the reach mechanism with one hand and grasp the
cartridge with the other. Rotate the solenoid switch clockwise until the cartridge is
released from the gripper, as shown in Figure 6-4 on page 6-13.
Caution. If the robot has been active, the solenoid and switch might be too hot to touch. Wait
for the solenoid to cool before touching it.
Figure 6-3. Extending the Gripper
Caution. Check that the gripper mechanism is fully retracted. If it is left extended and the robot
is turned, the gripper mechanism will strike a storage cell. If it is left extended and the hand is
facing the tape library door when it is closed, the door will strike the gripper mechanism.
