Automation offers numerous advantages to the life science industry, enabling researchers and technicians to conduct a greater number of tests and experiments in a shorter duration. By eliminating repetitive tasks, automation reduces the potential for human error and effectively lowers overall costs. However, the efficient operation of fast-paced automated instruments and robots heavily depends on precise and reliable motion. Whether you are developing a laboratory robot or an instrument responsible for sample positioning or the movement of optical components, your motion devices must overcome various challenges specific to life science applications. Some of these challenges include:
