Two EPSON TT8550 SCARA Robots were selected for the complex motion tasks such as palletizing, screw driving and precision assembly; pneumatic devices were used for simple pick and place operations. Prior experience with EPSON robots had proven the reliability and robustness of the robots.
Using an EPSON robot as the material handling device, Novi Systems Ltd., developed a workcell that automatically test inhalers and records the test results. Called ICTUS - the Automated Andersen, the cell performs all the material handling, testing, result recording and equipment clean-up previously done manually.
