Thermo Scientific™ 
Orbitor RS2 Microplate Mover 

Designed with safety in mind.
 

The Orbitor RS2 Mover is inherently safe and designed to work directly alongside people in a designated, specially prepared workspace — without the need for guards or protective barriers.

It complies with stringent international standards for collaborative robots, and both novice and experienced automation users appreciate its wide range of integrated safety features. The top-mounted gripper naturally eliminates the issues found in designs with protruding, offset gripper fingers. Force control stops movement at the slightest unexpected contact.

Orbitor RS2 Microplate Mover 

Zaprojektowany z myślą o bezpieczeństwie.
 

Mover Orbitor RS2 jest z natury bezpieczny i zaprojektowany do bezpośredniej współpracy z człowiekiem w wyznaczonej, specjalnie przygotowanej przestrzeni roboczej — bez konieczności stosowania osłon czy zabezpieczeń. 

Spełnia rygorystyczne międzynarodowe normy dla robotów współpracujących, a zarówno początkujący, jak i doświadczeni użytkownicy automatyki doceniają szeroki zakres zintegrowanych funkcji bezpieczeństwa. Górny chwytak na ramieniu naturalnie eliminuje problemy występujące w konstrukcjach z wystającymi, przesuniętymi palcami chwytaka. Sterowanie siłą zatrzymuje ruch przy najmniejszym nieoczekiwanym kontakcie.

Efficient and reliable

The Orbitor RS2 delivers unrivalled reliability and greater process efficiency thanks to its exceptional speed and precision.
The integrated barcode scanner enables:

  • sample tracking

  • inventory management
     

Plate detection in the gripper:

  • eliminates laboratory material handling errors

  • reduces the risk of sample loss
     


Grows with your needs

As one of the most flexible devices on the market, the Orbitor RS2 is often initially purchased to support a single instrument and later expanded with additional devices and integrations.

Expansion options:

  • on-site upgrades

  • adding multiple devices for parallel operation

  • integration of sample preparation instruments
     

Wide range of plate storage options:

  • sequential-access stacks

  • random-access storage units (hotels)

  • storage carousels
     

The device can also be mounted on a track axis, allowing the configuration to adapt to changing laboratory processes.

Easy to teach

The built-in vision system and dedicated calibration tool enable positions to be taught quickly and precisely.

The position verification system checks stored nest locations before operation begins and automatically corrects minor deviations in real time.

The integrated camera also reads barcodes, enabling:

  • automatic confirmation of sample identifiers

  • reliable sample tracking
