Sample Robot Pick&Place – Functional description
￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭
3.5.1 Main module Pick&Place – Functional description
All of the attached modules in the OMNIS Sample Robot System are supplied with electricity through the main module Pick&Place.
The main lift with gripper and gripper arm is fastened to the main module
Pick&Place.
The gripper is used for transporting the sample beakers out of the sample
racks and into the processing stations intended for this purpose. Once the
processing of the samples has been completed, the gripper removes the
sample beakers out of the processing stations once again and transports
them back into the previously removed sample rack.
The control hardware is integrated in the interior of the main module
Pick&Place.
3.5.2 Pick&Place module – Functional description
The samples in the OMNIS sample robot system are analyzed on the
Pick&Place module.
The sample beakers are transported by the sample robot into the front
sample position of the Pick&Place module. After the sample beaker has
been put into place, the slide with the sample beaker moves under the
titration head and the lift moves downward.
The sensors installed in the titration head analyze the sample.
After completion of the measurement, the sensors are cleaned with one
of the pumps that are integrated in the pump module. The solution that is
generated during this process is aspirated by an additional pump of the
pump module and the lift with the sensors rises.
Afterwards the slide moves back out again and the sample beaker is
removed by the sample robot.
3.5.3 OMNIS peristaltic pump module – Functional description
2 or 4 peristaltic pumps are integrated on the peristaltic pump module.
2 peristaltic pumps are assigned to each workstation in the OMNIS sample
robot system.
The upper peristaltic pump (numbered with 1 or 3) rinses off the sensors
in the Pick&Place modules with solvent after the analysis of a sample. For
this purpose, the solvent is aspirated from the rinsing canister through the
peristaltic pump. If required, these pumps can also be used to dilute a
sample with solvent or to bring it into solution prior to an analysis.
30
The lower peristaltic pump (numbered with 2 or 4) aspirates the remaining
solution out of the sample beaker during and after the rinsing procedure
and routes it to the waste canister.
￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭
￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭
Optionally, up to 2 lid trays can be installed on the pump module. The lid
that was removed from the sample beaker is parked on the lid tray until it
is needed again to seal the sample beaker.
If malfunctions occur at the peristaltic pump, this will be displayed via LED
at the peristaltic pump.
3.5.3.1 Functional description – Peristaltic pump
The peristaltic pump operates in accordance with the volume displacement principle.
The pump tubing in the interior connects the inlet and the outlet of the
peristaltic pump.
This pump tubing is pinched off by four internal rollers. Media are aspirated in and out by this squeezing of the pump tubing and the volume displacement that results from it.
3.5.4 Rack base – Functional description
The rack base is the skeletal structure for the sample robot.
The sample racks in which the sample beakers are located are stored on
the rack holders of the rack base. The rack holders contain sensors that
automatically detect which sample rack type is currently located on the
individual rack base.
Functional description
The OMNIS sample robot system uses the sample rack type to detect
which type of sample beakers are located in the sample rack. This information is passed along to the control which sets the gripper to the respective size of the sample beakers.
If a sample rack that is still to be approached by the sample robot is
removed, this is detected by the rack holders and passed along to the
OMNIS sample robot system. This sample rack will no longer be
approached by the sample robot and the absence of the sample rack will
be displayed in the control.
