The company Ebo Kunze Industriedesign has developed a low-cost handling unit for the automation of laboratory processes and uses iglidur® plain bearings for this. Initially, a conventional gripper was used to move the sample plates.
Since the gripper had a high dead weight compared to the payload, the entire handling unit became heavy. The aim was therefore to simplify the gripper mechanics and thus reduce its weight. The iglidur® plain bearing in the gripper is responsible for two things: The clamping of the rotating gripper and the swivelling of the gripper axis.
The result is very simple: one metre of stainless steel wire and a plain bearing are all that is needed for the clean design gripper, which saves an entire direction of movement of the handling unit thanks to its swivel capability. The stainless steel wire is placed around the sample plate like a loop and pulled tight. As a result, the gripper has a firm grip on the sample plate and can move it from A to B. The compact and simple design means that the handling unit can be installed under the laboratory bench level.
