Programmable robotic arm with fully integrated electronics able to operate with high precision in four degrees of freedom as standard
Launched to an enthusiastic audience at the recent LabAutomation 2003 conference the new Katana robotic arm from Imix fills a gap in the field of laboratory automation.
Katana is a programmable robotic arm with fully integrated electronics able to operate with high precision in four degrees of freedom as standard. Available as a stand-alone system, on a linear axis or as a mobile robot Katana is uniquely versatile.
Designed specifically for the laboratory environment Katana can be used for a wide range of applications including picking and placement of plates or tubes, loading and unloading of centrifuges, incubators, readers, washers etc.
Katana only weighs 2.8kg yet has a payload of 500g.
Its working space extends in an approximate 50cm radius from its centre of rotation.
Direct control of Katana is via a serial interface by a PC, a programmable logic Controller (PLC) or mobile robotic interface.
Simple and versatile software with incorporated neuronal network tool allows easy programming and fast setup.
