Stäubli
Robots revolutionize life sciences labs
The COVID-19 crisis has spurred life sciences labs to ramp up output at warp speed – and Stäubli Robotics is helping to meet critical needs.
As the challenges multiply and pressure mounts,
Stäubli Robotics is actively expanding its offerings to the life sciences market, including a full range of flexible and collaborative robotic arms and mobility solutions. The company has been developing high-throughput screening (HTS) technologies since the early 2000s and presented its latest innovations for lab automation at SLAS 2021.
Many challenges in the life sciences sector pre-date the COVID-19 pandemic but were accelerated by these unprecedented circumstances. Demands for higher throughput, greater efficiency and productivity have intensified, along with increased need to minimize time spent on repetitive tasks, ensure safety, and maintain compliance with strict hygienic requirements. In response, labs are increasingly implementi
Faster inspection of specialty valves for ventilators
OGP’s TurnCheck enables Cygnus Manufacturing Co. to scan and measure cylindrical parts in seconds, not minutes.
Cygnus Manufacturing Company (CMC) provides full-service manufacturing from prototype through production of high precision products and components for the medical device, transportation, energy, and aerospace industries.
As an FDA compliant and ISO 13485 medical device certified manufacturer, a leading U.S. ventilator company approached CMC at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic requesting expeditious assistance to substantially increase its production of a specialty valve in response to the country’s shortage of life-saving ventilators.
The ventilator company had a chrome on brass part requiring documented measurements of 31 datapoints after manufacturing and again after plating. While CMC had been manufacturing this valve prior to the start of the pandemic, the substantial increase in production volume in a shor
A group of KAIST researchers and collaborators have engineered a tiny brain implant that can be wirelessly recharged from outside the body to control brain circuits for long periods of time without battery replacement.
