Description of Equipment:
  • A group of four racks (left side) are placed on the platform, at one time, to allow a ninety-six (96) tube run. There are 24 tubes in each rack (4×6 format).
  • The cap retainer (right side) - adjacent to the machine rack - holds the 96 caps that have been removed from the 96 tubes.
  • Each test tube - with its accompanying screw cap - is removed from the rack and placed in the adjustable-gripper station (center section). After cap removal and storage in the cap rack, each tube is picked up and returned to the rack in its original position. For recapping, each tube is picked up and capped with its original cap.
  • The machine is controlled by a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) with servo motor driven X-Y axis and air for gripping the caps, tubes, and the raising and lowering of the Z axis.
  • Power requirements are 120 Volt AC and air at 90 PSI.
  • The machine includes two sets of racks for the tubes and two cap storage racks.
  • Functionality can be customized to meet customer specifications with respect to screw-cap tube types/sizes as well as operational flexibility.
