Reducing Cycle Times

The Agilent Direct Drive Robot (DDR) from Agilent Automation Solutions is designed for applications like drug target discovery or drug screening, where reducing cycle times means drugs traveling to market faster. “Our customers are truly challenged with getting quality targets to support their development pipeline,” says Marc Beban, the manufacturer’s director of integrated systems and software marketing. “They need flexible, easy to use technology that is reliable and our direct drive technology means fewer moving parts to break down so that they can have the confidence they need to focus on the science, not the machinery.” A new demonstration video (www.agilent.com/chem/ddr_campaign) shows how the DDR is fast, precise, and designed with safety in mind. State-of-the-art direct drive technology reduces the number of moving parts, resulting in a robotic arm that has increased reliability and speed, moving smoothly with precision and accuracy. One-person, one-touch teaching makes the DDR extremely easy to configure.
