laboratory robots for modular laboratory automation and robotics for high-throughput screening

Laboratory robots are categorized into two types, laboratory and factory. Laboratory robots are usually driven by stepper motors. These tend to lack power, which is an advantage in terms of safety but a disadvantage in overall reliability and accuracy.

In contrast, factory robots are usually driven by synchronous motors. These have the advantages of power and accuracy, but the disadvantage is they must be placed in an safety enclosure, please go to safety enclosures. At paa, we consider each application on is merits and can advise uncertain customers which type of robot to use if required.

Stackers are often used on smaller automated workcells. paa offer a wide range of stackers for integration with single instrument automation projects.
