Abstract

A positioning mechanism support structure mounted for movement between first and second predetermined positions in a spectroanalytical system includes relative to a reference member by a plurality of stabilizing coupling assemblies, and drive structure for producing motion of the support structure relative to the reference structure between first and second stop structures that define the first and second predetermined positions, respectively. Interlock structure responds to the drive force generated by the drive structure and de-energizes the drive structure in response to the drive force applied to that support structure exceeding a predetermined threshold value.
