System and method for lifting and orienting a chamber

A device for changing an orientation of a carrying basket, the device comprising:

• a support wall including an elongated slot, the elongated slot including a notch supporting a rack;
• a rail coupled to the support wall;
• a carrier plate coupled to the rail, the carrier plate configured to move between a first position and a second position along the rail;
• and
• a rotatable shaft carrying a pinion gear, the pivot shaft extending between the carrier plate and the carrying basket, and configured to rotate about a rotational axis;
• wherein the rotatable shaft passes through the elongated slot in the support wall;
• wherein as the carrier plate moves between the first position and the second position, the pinion gear moves into engagement with the rack thereby causing the rotatable shaft to rotate about the rotational axis;
• and
• wherein rotation of the pivot shaft causes the carrying basket to change from a first orientation to a second orientation.

A device for lifting and orienting a cylindrical cartridge, the device comprising:

• a lift mechanism configured to move the cylindrical cartridge from a first vertical position to a second vertical position;
• and
• a rotating mechanism configured to move the cylindrical cartridge from a first orientation to a second orientation;
• wherein the lift mechanism and the rotating mechanism work to lift and change the orientation of the cylindrical cartridge.
