Laboratory robots have been developed to handle liquids along with fully integrated systems consisting of multiple robot arms, pipetting stations among others. Pharmaceutical robots can do different tasks like liquid handling robots that blend compounds and move trays with samples in and out of an oven during sample experiments, maintaining a clean room environment, production of medical devices, produce pharmaceutical products like Hepa filters, syringes, and inhalers, robots can fills blister packs with single or multiple dosages, moves the filled packs and places them in a box, and palletize the boxes.
Vision systems are an important part of the study and development involved in robots designed for the pharmaceutical industry. A vision system inspects each blister pack to assure that each one was filled with the right amount of tablets.

The FANUC Robot M-430iA is a vertical, multi-articulated, 2kg capacity robot. The washable, cleanroom compatible, intelligent robot handles food and pharmaceutical products as a less expensive and more flexible solution than a dedicated machine.

FANUC cleanroom robots models are: the LR Mate 200iB and M-6iB. Both robots are six-axis, modular construction, AC electric servo-driven robots. They are designed to operate in sensitive, contamination-controlled environments with a minimum floor space required. Both robots have manufacturing and lab applications. They offer high throughput, industry-leading consistency, and refined motion control for soft part handling. Click here to learn more about FANUC pharmaceutical robots.
