HR-LSP: Automatic laboratory station

Specially designed for automatic sample transport

The fully automatic HR-LSP laboratory station is designed for automatic receiving and opening of a pneumatic carrier as well as automatically emptying the sample material into a cup via a funnel and a dosing unit. Different sample aliquots can be dosed, e.g. for the preparation of a pressed pellet or particle size analysis. The capsule is then closed again and returned to the air tube station in the plant. 

The HR-LSP can receive powder and granular samples. During emptying of the carrier, the discharge chute is covered to prevent the escape of dust. After completion of the discharge process, the chute is cleaned by compressed air to minimize contamination of subsequent samples. 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.

Shortened handling time, improved efficiency

Discharge of the samples within the HR-LSP saves 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 installed in a line 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.
