Compound Retrieval and Weighing
In order to achieve the throughput and system specifications, this system has two robotic arms and two Mettler Toledo balances running in parallel. Vials are weighed and identified with bar code reading and inkjet spraying every 5 seconds!! A front loading, vial tray stacker is incorporated as part of the system and can hold up to 1000 vials, making loading and unloading an easy batch task.
The design is suitable for modification and integration into an automated compound retrieval store with full audit sample weight checking into and out of the store with bar code validation.
