Definitions
- the invention relates to a gripping device for receiving and placing an object, in particular a microtiter plate.
- Such gripping devices are used, for example, in systems for pharmaceutical active ingredient development in which a large number of substances are tested.
- the object is achieved by a gripping device for receiving and placing an object, in particular a microtiter plate, with two gripper jaws spaced apart from one another and an actuating device for changing the distance between the two gripper jaws in order to clamp the object between the gripper jaws, each gripper jaw one from a first Material formed gripping fingers with a fingertip, which is coated with a second material which is in contact with a contact area of the article when the article is clamped, the coefficient of friction between the second material and the material of the contact area of the article is greater than that Friction coefficient between the first material and the material of the contact area of the object. It can thus advantageously be achieved that the gripping device holds the object exclusively by means of frictional engagement, so that a disadvantageous positive engagement, which can lead to jamming, is avoided.
- the gripping finger itself can be formed from an elastic material, such as e.g. Steel, especially spring steel. This makes it possible for the gripping finger to have the desired elasticity, for example to compensate for manufacturing tolerances of the microtiter plates and assembly tolerances of the gripping device.
- the material of the gripping finger can thus be selected in such a way that the balancing of manufacturing and assembly tolerances takes place as well as possible, whereas the second material is selected so that there is an excellent frictional connection between the coated fingertip and the object to be picked up and moved.
- the gripping finger can in particular be formed from a round wire, one end of which is bent slightly to form the fingertip.
- the gripper finger can be designed as a U-shaped curved round wire, the closed end (fingertip) of which can be extended in an L-shape and which is held at its other end or is connected to the gripper jaw. This makes the gripper finger very easy and inexpensive to manufacture!
- the gripping finger has a main section, to which the fingertip is connected in such a way that the gripping finger is essentially L-shaped.
- This is a particularly preferred form in order to be able to safely accommodate and move microtiter plates (in particular with a lid).
- the fingertip of the gripping fingers is advantageously completely coated with the second material. There is thus a large-area contact between the gripping finger and the second material, whereby the adhesion of the second material to the gripping finger is maximized and peeling of the second material can be prevented.
- the gripping finger can be coated with the second material in particular in such a way that only the fingertip is coated. This only coats the part of the gripper finger that comes into contact with the object to be picked up and moved.
- the fingertip can be coated using a shrink-fit shrink tube (for example a PVC stocking tube).
- a shrink-fit shrink tube for example a PVC stocking tube.
- a vulcanized rubber film For example, polyurethane can be vulcanized. Such a coating is very durable.
- the fingertip can be designed such that it has a linear contact area. This is particularly advantageous when handling microtiter plates.
- the gripper jaws each have several gripper fingers.
- the clamping force can thus be distributed over several gripping fingers.
- the gripper fingers of a gripper jaw can be arranged such that their fingertips lie on one line.
- the gripping device can also contain a movement device by means of which the gripper jaws can be moved in two or three different directions without changing the distance between the gripper jaws. It is then possible to move the object from a first location (for example, a memory module of an analysis system) to a second location (for example, an analysis module of the analysis system).
- a first location for example, a memory module of an analysis system
- a second location for example, an analysis module of the analysis system
- an analysis system for chemical and / or physical examination of samples provided in chambers of a microtiter plate can be provided, the analysis system having at least a first and a second module and a transport device for transporting a microtiter plate from the first to the second module, the transport device having the inventive Gripping device (or a development of the same according to the invention) contains.
- the modules can be analysis modules, memory modules or other modules.
- the transport device can have further elements for transporting the microtiter plate, such as turntables and Conveyor belts. Of course, the transport device can also contain several gripping devices according to the invention.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic view of the gripping device with a clamped microtiter plate
- Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of the end of a gripping finger.
- the gripping device comprises two gripper jaws 1, 2 spaced apart from one another and an actuating device 3 with two springs 4, 5, which pull the two gripper jaws 1 and 2 together.
- the actuating device also contains (not shown) an eccentric with which the two gripper jaws 1 and 2 can be pressed apart against the tensile force of the springs 4 and 5.
- Each gripper jaw 1, 2 has a gripper finger 6, 7 which contains a fingertip 8, 9 at its lower end. With this fingertip 8, 9, a microtiter plate 10 is clamped on its long sides 11, 12 between the bottom 13 and the lid 14 of the microtiter plate 10.
- the gripping finger 6 is formed from a round spring steel with a diameter of approximately 1.4 mm. It has a substantially rectilinear main section 15, the lower end of which is bent around the fingertip
- a PVC shrink tube 16 is shrunk on the fingertip 8, so that the contact area 17 with which the gripping finger 6 is in contact with the side 11 of the microtiter plate
- the Schrurripfschläuch 16 has a coefficient of friction relative to the material of the microtiter plate 10, which is greater than the coefficient of friction between the spring steel of the gripping finger 6 and the material of the microtiter plate. The desired frictional engagement between the fingertips 8, 9 and the microtiter plate 10 or the longitudinal sides 11 and 12 can thus be achieved, while at the same time maintaining the elastic properties of the gripping finger.
- the diameter of the gripping finger with shrink-fit shrink tube 16 is approximately 2 mm.
- the contact area 17 is designed here so that it is linear (in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing).
- the gripper jaws 1 and 2 can each have more than just one gripper finger.
- the gripping device also contains a movement device 18 by means of which the
- Actuating device 3 together with the two gripper jaws 1 and 2 can be moved both in the z direction and in the x direction, as is indicated schematically in FIG. 1.
- the two gripper jaws 1 and 2 are opened (for example by means of the eccentric, not shown), so that the microtiter plate 10 is set down, and the actuating device 3 with the two gripper jaws 1 and 2 (now without a microtiter plate) is moved to the next by means of the movement device 18 Microtiter plate moves, which is then clamped in the same way by means of the gripper fingers 6 and 7.
