Laboratory Robot

Thermo Fisher Scientific has jointly developed its F5 articulated robot with Fanuc Robotics America. It has been co-designed and purpose-built for drug discovery applications utilizing Fanuc Robotics core expertise in industrial robotics and Thermo Fishers knowledge of laboratory automation. The robot brings a state-of-the-art, 6-axis articulated robot to laboratory automation. It features a linear track to service more instrumentation over larger working areas, integrated servo grippers with grip force control for the precise gripping of all plate types and myriad plate storage and peripheral options. A compact controller, together with integrated lab-oriented software, provides reliable performance and increased speed of movement of any plate type and consumable. The ability to set up rapidly with little training further improves operational efficiency.
