Video demonstrates configurable direct drive robot

Agilent Automation Solutions has released an online streaming video that provides a visual insight into how its Agilent Direct Drive Robot (DDR), at the centre of a highly flexible BioCel System, advances high-throughput screening for drug discovery research and genomic applications.

The new 5-minute video (http://www.chem.agilent.com/en-US/Products/Instruments/automation/systems/ddr/Pages/DDR_video1.aspx) shows how the Agilent DDR is fast, precise, and designed with safety in mind. State-of-the-art direct drive technology reduces the number of moving parts, resulting in a robotic arm that has increased reliability and speed, moving smoothly with precision and accuracy. The innovative one-person, one-touch design of the Agilent DDR is shown to enable fast and easy robotic configuration teaching, minimizing setup time and the need for dedicated personnel.
