- Fast Deployment: Save time and effort deploying your STACK with no need to bolt down components thanks to the system’s self-teaching software and vision-enabled arm.
Perfect Plate Transfers with Automatic Adjustments
With the STACK intelligent automation system, you never have to worry about calibrating handoff positions. The system automatically adjusts to instrument deck positions, removing the need to program precise coordinates. The vision-based arm uses camera-guided robotic technology, allowing effortless navigation and plate handling with exceptional precision and control. The multifunction camera reads barcodes placed on the integrated instruments to adjust dynamically for accurate pick-ups and drop-offs.
Adaptive Gripping for Precision Handling
The STACK system incorporates a force-sensing Smart Gripper that dynamically adjusts to nest locations. This innovative gripper can accurately sense the weight and force applied to target instruments and labware, ensuring smooth and secure handling of tubes, plates, and other delicate items. Integrated with dynamic camera alignment and intelligent grip features, the gripper adapts to variations in instrument positioning. The elimination of the need to bolt down components, combined with the smart gripper's on-the-fly adjustments, enhances system flexibility and simplifies setup and reconfiguration.
Future-Proofing Your Research with Scalable Automation
The ever-growing complexity of research demands a robust automation foundation. A scalable system like the STACK ensures your automation platform can adapt to increasingly sophisticated workflows. This future-proofs your research investment, guaranteeing a long-lasting solution for your lab's needs.
Fast-Track Your Research with STACK's Streamlined Setup
Forget days or weeks waiting for third-party integrators to set up your lab automation system. STACK empowers researchers to take control with its incredibly fast and hassle-free installation. Unlike complex systems requiring extensive configuration, STACK boasts an easy-to-set-up modular design that allows you to unbox, assemble, and be ready to run your automation workflows within a matter of hours. STACK eliminates the lengthy installation process, allowing you to focus on what truly matters - designing and implementing innovative workflows that propel your research forward.
