In addition to handling and transporting components, collaborative robots have the flexibility to be used in a variety of applications. Astech has utilised a collaborative robot for the purpose of accurately dispensing liquid (reagent) into labware. The robot is specifically used for positioning the dispensing head above individual bottles over a large array for the purpose of reagent filling. Previously, this was a tedious manual operation. The collaborative nature of the robot allows for continuous operation whilst the lab analyst removes and replenishes the glass bottles. Astech can design and build robotics and automation systems to suit your application which may be unique in terms of size, throughput, environment and budgetary constraints.
