Laboratory automation

Customised solutions for automated sample handling

Would you like to increase the level of automation in sample analysis and improve productivity and safety in each step of the process? We offer you automated solutions for all areas of sample analysis. From handling and positioning sample containers to precisely dispensing liquids in microwell plates, with Festo you can create customised applications in the smallest of spaces. And ensure they are cost-efficient too. Thanks to the large selection of components in different sizes, you can choose exactly what you need for your devices.

Handling and positioning small parts

With robots and electric linear actuators that have been specially developed for laboratory devices, several process steps can be carried out in the same workspace. The three-dimensional gantry EXCL is a good example of this. Complete with stepper motors and optional motion controller, it is easy to integrate in desktop systems. You can even further extend the functionality of the system with two independently moving Z-axes. The maintenance-free system is tested and documented.

Gripping and decapping sample containers

Opening and closing sample containers is one of the core processes in sample preparation. Combined rotary gripper modules perform two process steps at once: gripping and decapping or re-capping. The special feature of the rotary gripping module EHMD is that it's suitable for a wide range of vial sizes and heights with different types of lids.
