PlateButler® LidHolder: fast, reliable lid storage
Many
laboratories conduct processes that require lids. A time-consuming
activity within automation, and one that takes up considerable space.
The sophisticated design of the PlateButler® LidHolder allows standard
lids and metal lids to be stored fast, with great accuracy and in a
small space.
The lids are removed with suction cups and a vacuum. Every LidHolder
has a serial port connection (RS232) to allow integration, and a system
to allow for monitoring and control of the vacuum. In addition to the
standard LidHolder, Lab Services has also developed the LidHolder Plus
and the Lidholder Plus2.
LidHolder Plus
The LidHolder Plus was designed for up to 5 non-standard (plastic or
metal) lids and other specific applications. These parts are usually
very delicate. That is why this design has been fitted with an
additional pneumatic Z-movement that attaches the suction cups to the
lid.
LidHolder Plus2
The LidHolder Plus2 is based on the design of the LidHolder Plus, but it
has an additional electrically driven clamping mechanism. This prevents
the device from picking up the entire dish with the lid if the lid is
sticky.
Single LidHolder
The PlateButler® Single LidHolder is a device that can only hold one
lid. It is a small unit that also communicates over the ethernet. All it
needs is a network connection and power input. This is a very
cost-efficient way of working with lids on a robotic automation
platform. Its vacuum is created by a small motor with a membrane that is
located inside the device.
