    Abstract: Apparatus for placing covers (5, 8) on a cassette (1) and taking covers (5, 8) off a cassette (1) comprises an upper cover removal structure (100U), a lower cover removal structure (100L), and means for holding the cassette in place (170-176). The upper cover removal structure (100U) includes a central body portion (102), a pair of arms (104, 106) rotatably mounted at the end of the central body portion, and fingers (112, 114) located at the end of the arms (104, 106). The fingers (112, 114) can be moved up and down in a direction parallel to the main axis of the arms. The upper cover removal structure (100U) includes means for moving the upper cover removal structure (100U) toward or away from the cassette (1). The lower cover removal structure (100L) includes a central body portion and a pair of arms 156, 158 having fingers (190, 192) at the ends thereof. The arms can move inwardly or outwardly to grasp the bottom cover (8). Also included are means (154) for moving the lower cover removal unit (100L) toward or away from the cassette. The apparatus is designed to minimize generation of particulate contamination. For example, during use, arms (104, 106) and fingers (112, 114) pull tongues (20) of top cover (5) outwardly so that catches (23) on tongues (20) do not snap over rims on the cassettes and generate particulate contamination.

    Abstract translation: 用于将盖(5,8)放置在盒(1)上并从盒(1)上取下盖(5,8)的装置包括上盖移除结构(100U),下盖移除结构(100L)和装置 用于将盒子保持在位(170-176)。 上盖拆卸结构(100U)包括中心主体部分(102),可旋转地安装在中心主体部分的端部处的一对臂(104,106),以及位于中心主体部分的端部处的手指(112,114) 臂(104,106)。 手指(112,114)可以在平行于臂的主轴线的方向上上下移动。 上盖移除结构(100U)包括用于将上盖移除结构(100U)朝向或远离盒(1)移动的装置。 下盖移除结构(100L)包括中心主体部分和在其端部具有指状物(190,192)的一对臂156,158。 臂可以向内或向外移动以抓住底盖(8)。 还包括用于将下盖拆卸单元(100L)朝向或远离盒移动的装置(154)。 该设备被设计为最小化颗粒污染物的产生。 例如,在使用期间,臂(104,106)和手指(112,114)向外拉动顶盖(5)的舌部(20),使得舌片(20)上的卡扣(23)不卡在盒子上的边缘上 并产生颗粒污染。

    Abstract: A robotic workstation includes apparatus for actuating one or more syringes. Each syringe has a cylinder and a plunger movable in the cylinder. A programmable robot has at least one syringe actuating device. The actuating device has a holder for holding and releasing a syringe cylinder and an actuator movable relative to the holder. A coupling couples the actuator to the plunger of the syringe such that, when the cylinder is held by the holder, movement of the actuator relative to the holder causes the plunger to move in the cylinder. A method of dispensing a material into a container includes robotically moving at least one syringe to a position for dispensing into a container. The plunger is robotically moved in the cylinder to dispense material from the syringe into the container. The workstation suitably includes a mixing apparatus for mixing materials in an array of containers at the workstation.
