Abstract
An adapter device is placed on a movable plate of a base of an interface device to position a carrier pod at a preset height enabling a standard interfacing system with equipment machines to be used. A side wall of the adapter device comprises a guiding aperture enabling the carrier pod to pass to bring the first door and its lock into alignment with a front support plane of the side wall. A controller is provided to couple the first door with a second door and to unlock the first door when the side wall accosts against a front face of the interface device.
