Vial Capping Robot

By TimB,


Automated Functions

  • Incoming vial trays enter machine on a conveyor and are automatically indexed forward
  • Preservative automatically dispensed into the vial as required
  • Machine automatically dispenses incoming caps, loaded into hopper from top of the machine, into vibratory feeder allowing the caps to traverse into the capping device
  • Vials remain in their tray during the entire process
  • Auto adjusting – Machine can support two different vial heights
  • Caps placed onto the vials one row at a time
  • Capped vial trays are stacked and then indexed out of the machine and onto the exit conveyor for removal

ILAS3000 Waterbath Robot

By admin,


Automated functions

  • Samples are mapped and moved from the trays to the sample carousel
  • Samples heated to desired temperature, submerged in temperature-control warm water and moved from tray to sample carousel
  • For an accurate result, robot mixes samples prior to analysis
  • Samples de-capped
  • Samples identified by bar-code or RFID (optional)
  • Samples presented to the analyser stirrer/pipette
  • Sample vials returned to tray

Operator Savings

  • Easy to use
  • Robot takes over all the monotonous manual tasks
  • Easy to operate
  • Reduces operator costs by >50%. One operator can handle up to 3 lines
  • Automation helps increase throughput per line with stricter procedures
  • Efficient output

Quality Assurance

  • Consistent measurements with reliable results with repeatable automated processes
  • Pilot samples stored in separate compartment
  • Option of random pilot sample testing (depending on laboratory rules)
  • ILAS3000 presents the optional capability of alerting operators if check results are outside the user defined range

Productivity

  • Two drawers for sample trays allows for continuous operation
  • Drawers independent of one another; allows for operator to use one tray while other is being tested by the robot
  • Can run at speed of up to 600 samples/ hour

Adaptability

  • Adaptable and adjustable to most commonly used vials
  • Drawers set up at the factory to suit many styles of trays
  • Can be used with or without barcode ID or RFID

System Features

Fully integrated with the following analysis solutions:

  • Bentley FTS/FCM
  • Delta CombiScope FTIR
  • CombiFoss 5000
  • CombiFoss 6000 FC
  • MilkoScan 4000
  • MilkoScan FT6000
  • Fossomatic 5000
