Spinnaker 3 Microplate Mover
DESCRIPTION
Spinnaker 3 Microplate Mover is an Industrial-Robot from Thermo Fisher Scientific. It is built for Material-Handling, Pick-and-place, Research. Key figures: 0.3 kg payload, 597 mm reach, 4 degrees of freedom.
The Thermo Scientific Spinnaker 3 is a collaborative SCARA-type robot for fast, flexible microplate handling with minimal setup, aimed at add-and-go automation of lab workflows. Vision-based position teaching allows touchless calibration, and its patented auto-levelling gripper corrects for instruments or benches that are not perfectly level, so transfers stay reliable across a wide range of labware. Thermo Fisher specifies a reach of 597 mm, a height of 800 mm, a nominal payload of 250 g (320 g maximum) and +/-0.25 mm repeatability, with four axes of motion and integrated barcode reading. It operates at 19 to 25 C nominally (4 to 40 C) and 20 to 80% non-condensing humidity, mounts on the bench or on a track, and works with Thermo Fisher's Momentum software or third-party scheduling software. Typical uses include screening, compound management, cell maintenance, small- and large-molecule work, biologics and synthetic biology; it is also the arm on Thermo Fisher's lab autonomous mobile robot.
