Case Studies

Liquid Handling Robot systems oftentimes use peristaltic pumps to deliver reagents and other fluids to test sites. Although some smaller volumes of liquid can easily be delivered by plunger-style syringe pumps, larger liquid volumes often use peristaltic pumps because they have much higher displacement volumes and the mechanical system of rollers and motors are not exposed to the liquid itself. This paper will demonstrate the statistical differences in delivered volume with and without an adaptive control system and the resulting higher accuracy that can be achieved.

Motion applications such as patient fluid processing, drug delivery, and laboratory diagnostics require precision and safety control. High-performance motion control solutions deliver high reliability, programmability and precision control for applications that use peristaltic pumps. This use case explains how we can deliver reliable motor control for peristaltic pumps.

Are you struggling with how to add an end effector solution to your multi-axis motion control application? This use case explains how you can add an axis to a medical sample delivery machine with minimal development time and cost.

As more and more motion control systems are designed to deliver the precise movement of liquids, it becomes extremely important that machine designers understand what type of fluid pump will work best, and what motion controls will give you the pumping accuracy you need. This use case of precision fluid handing offers a detailed exploration of liquid handling’s two main challenges: moving fluid and moving fluid containers.

Centrifuges require very high rotation speeds and often have a need for positioning.
