The extremely compact rotary gripper module EHMD is the ideal choice in many life science applications where small objects need to be gripped and turned in confined spaces. For example, it can be used in laboratory automation to open a variety of sample vials with ease. The Z module automatically adjusts to the thread pitches of the caps, eliminating changeover times.

Seeds are the new gold. Why is that? Plant-based foods can feed an ever-growing world population. But climate change, pests and diseases threaten plant breeding. To help develop resistant seeds and make them available to agriculture, plant breeders need vast amounts of DNA. That is precisely why Synchron Lab has developed the "DNA factory", which is automated with handling gantries, electric axes, pneumatic grippers and sensors from Festo.
