Specially designed for automatic sample transport

The fully automatic laboratory station HR-LSM is designed to receive pneumatic carriers, open them, and discharge the sample for further processing. The carrier is closed again and sent back to the sending station within the plant. The sample received can be transported onwards either on conveyor belts or by a robot. The rear of the station is open, providing a robot with direct access to the sample.

The HR-LSM handles both metal samples and powder samples like slag (option). Also, other sample types like, e.g. pin samples can be discharged in a cup (option). Various types of steel and iron samples like, e.g., lollipop, double-thickness or oval samples are received, unpacked and aligned in such a way that the robot can pick and place them for further processing.

Shortened handling time, improved efficiency

Unpacking and aligning of the samples within the HR-LSM save valuable preparation time. Furthermore, the robot is released from tasks like carrier transport and inefficient periods of waiting time. This results in a significant increase in robot capacity and availability leading to improved performance especially during peak load of the automation.

Flexible operation and configuration

The station is fitted with a door on the front for manual operation. The door is equipped with a safety interlock. Capsules can thus be removed or inserted into the system manually. An operator panel permits manual operation and the specification of station parameters.

Stations can be erected in banks for the control of multiple lines and require little space.

Easy maintainability

The laboratory station HR-LSM is designed for industrial use and requires a minimum of service. It is accessible from both the front and the rear for internal maintenance and repair work.
