Laboratory Robot

Thermo Fisher Scientific has jointly developed its F5 articulated robot with Fanuc Robotics America. The robot has been co-designed and purpose-built for drug discovery applications utilising Fanuc Robotics core expertise in industrial robotics and Thermo Fishers extensive knowledge of laboratory automation. Consequently, the robot combines the superior performance of industrial robotics with the application-driven benefits of a traditional Thermo Scientific robot. It brings a state-of-the-art, 6-axis articulated robot to laboratory automation. The robot features a linear track to service more instrumentation over larger working areas, integrated servo grippers with grip force control for the precise gripping of all plate types and myriad plate storage and peripheral options.
