Decapper
Decapper for process-reliable opening and closing of sample containers
Reliably opening sample containers and securely resealing them is a key step in laboratory automation - and at the same time a frequent source of errors in day-to-day operations. The SCHUNK Decapper takes care of decapping and recapping a wide range of sample containers automatically, reliably and consistently. This increases throughput and process stability, reduces the need for manual handling and establishes a consistent, reliable workflow.
This is how you benefit in your day-to-day lab work
- Reliable hold of a single sample
thanks to the gripping force maintenance, samples remain gripped even if the system stops
- More operating time, less maintenance
enabled by a durable drive concept without a rotary feed-through
- Ideal for limited space
due to combined rotation and gripping function in a compact design
Decapper application example
Trays with sample tubes are precisely separated by the decapper and with the aid of a‑2D line gantry. The Decapper transfers the tube to the stationary gripper and reliably opens the lid – quickly, cleanly and consistently. This results in a compact and efficient process step for laboratory automation that can be seamlessly integrated into existing lines.
