LifeScience Alley

December 6, 2010

We will be exhibiting at the LifeScience Alley Expo on Wednesday, December 8, 2010.  We will display a pallet transport system and a Microplate Stacker/De-Stacker system. 

The transport system includes a Lift and Locate device as well as a Lift and Transfer device, also known as a Diverter.  This demonstrates how medical device assembly can be palletized for automation. 

The Stacker system is used to for supplying Microplates to and through processing equipment.  Microplates are industry-standard carriers that are roughly 3 x 5 inches.  Each typically has a large number of small wells that are basically mini-test tubes for carrying out chemistry experiments such as for genetic testing or drug discovery.  Stacking and De-Stacking allows for automating the delivery of the plates through processes, eliminating the need to have an operator hand-load each plate.

Lean Solutions

Quickdraw conveyors are an excellent choice for Lean Manufacturing initiatives. They address each of the classic seven wastes, predominantly due to the inherent modularity which easily leads to a levelized, low work-in-process, pull-type assembly system.

Green Efficiency

Quickdraw conveyors use compact, efficient 24 VDC brushless motors to drive each section. This is not only safe, both electrically and physically, but economical to run.
