Get it Done with Robotic Sample Tube Sortation

FANUC’s Authorized System integrator Big Sky engineered a tube sortation solution in the field of cancer research.
How the System Works:
A FANUC M-10iD/12 robot handles container parts, transfers them to an overhead conveyor and a LR Mate 200iD/7L robot places the components in designated rack locations.
This tube sorting system is a transformative solution for cancer research. Its originality, efficiency, and integration of cutting-edge technologies fulfill critical market needs, significantly contributing to global health improvements by advancing the accuracy and reliability of cancer screening processes.
Benefits
• Compact design and high-speed operation
• Reduces human handling of vials and containers
• Increased productivity
• Reliable and consistent sorting
• Improved effectiveness of cancer research
FANUC M-10iD/12
The FANUC M-10iD/12 has a 12kg payload and a 1441mm reach. A large hollow wrist and arm allows internal cable routing to prevent snagging and minimize interference with work pieces and fixtures.
LR MATE 200iD/7LC Clean Room Robot
The popular LR Mate 200iD series of tabletop industrial robots offers a “best in class” work envelope for both upright and invert mount installations. Ten models include clean room and wash proof versions, each with various wrist speeds and reaches to accommodate even the most limited workspace.
