Docking Station for robot floating pin tools – will accommodate 12 to 30mm exposed length pins
Some robot systems (MWG, Qiagen, PerkinElmer, Caliper (Zymark) Sciclone and some custom systems) have the ability to pick up the pin tool from a docking station much like a tool changer on a CNC. If your robot system has this “hot swappable” capability, you will want to use the VP 550A Docking Station. This Docking Station has an indent feature that captures the bottom float plate of all our tube style Pin Tools with 30 mm or less exposed length pins. This indent feature holds the Pin Tool securely while the robot picks it up or parks it. The bottom surface of the Docking Station has the same dimensions of a microplate and will fit into tiles or nests built for the SBS standard microplate. This facilitates placing the Docking Station on the robot deck.
