Abstract
Robots as freely programmable motion and control devices are likely to become a key element in laboratory automation. An example for a successful application is PillPack, a flexible blister packaging system for clinical studies. The primary requirements when developing the system were production accuracy approaching 100% and flexibility comparable to manual packing. The solution to the problem was a handling robot with integrated vision. The vision system is used to continuously check the handling process. The application software with graphical user interface provides extensive safeguards against operator errors. It allows easy mouse-driven programming of new blister shapes and loading patterns. The resulting short set-up time makes processing small lot sizes economical.
