Abstract
A mechanism () for an automated Karl Fischer ('KF') titration system () includes a support console (), a first vertical guide rail element (), solidly attached to the support console, and a carriage unit (), slidably constrained to the first vertical guide rail element, allowing the carriage unit a first degree of linear vertical mobility relative to the support console. The carriage unit holds a vial lift unit () with a lift platform () for a sample vial (). The carriage unit, in a downward movement phase, lowers the lift platform from a starting position into an oven cavity of the titration system. A subsequent upward movement phase raises the lift platform to the starting position. A second vertical guide rail element, solidly connected to the lift platform and slidably constrained to the carriage unit, enables a second degree of linear vertical mobility of the lift platform.
