Abstract:
The invention relates to a liquid handling apparatus for transferring liquid into and out of containers that are arranged in a substantially horizontal plane that is spanned by an X axis and a Y axis standing perpendicular to the X axis in the direction of a substantially vertical Z axis standing perpendicular to this plane. The liquid handling apparatus comprises an X slide which is travelable in the direction of the X axis and at which an arm having a Y slide is provided that is travelable in the direction of the Y axis and that is optionally configured for attaching at least one Z slide travelable in the Z axis. An X drive motor serves for driving the X slide via an X force transmission means and a Y drive motor serves for driving the Y slide via a Y force transmission means. Both motors are in fixed positions.

Claim (Index 22):
A liquid handling apparatus for transferring liquid into and out of containers that are arranged in a substantially horizontal plane that is spanned by an X axis and by a Y axis standing perpendicular to the X axis in the direction of a substantially vertical Z axis standing perpendicular to this plane, comprising:\n an X slide which is travelable in the direction of the X axis and at which a first arm is provided which has a Y slide travelable in the direction of the Y axis and which is optionally configured for attaching at least one Z slide travelable in the Z axis; an X drive motor for driving the X slide via an X force transmission means and a Y drive motor for driving the Y slide via a Y force transmission means, wherein both the X drive motor and the Y drive motor are in fixed positions; wherein the Y force transmission means is coupled to the X slide such that a travel movement of the X slide imparts a travel movement to the Y slide; and such that a further travel movement can be superposed on the Y slide via the Y drive motor such that any desired position of the Y slide can be reached, wherein the X force transmission means comprises a belt; and wherein the Y force transmission means comprises a belt and a rotating spindle.
