PreciseFlex 400

The PreciseFlex™ 400 is a compact, four-axis sample handling robot engineered specifically for benchtop laboratory automation. Designed with a servo gripper for precise handling of SBS plates, tubes and vials, it offers a space-saving footprint ideal for high-throughput environments where efficiency, safety, and ease of use are paramount. With a 1 kg payload capacity (excluding the gripper), the robot supports a horizontal reach of 433 mm (standard) or 588 mm (extended), and vertical reach options of 400, 750, or 1,160 mm. Its IntelliGuide™ servo or vision gripper enhances flexibility in handling stacked plates and tubes, making it a trusted solution adopted by nearly every major life science and lab automation company.

The PreciseFlex™ 400 integrates seamlessly into OEM systems and is equipped with an embedded controller and connectivity for external devices, simplifying setup and deployment. Users can configure and program the robot through GuidanceMotion, an intuitive web interface, or via GPL, an advanced programming language. For more customized control, it also supports command input through a TCP interface. As the industry standard for lab automation, the PreciseFlex™ 400 delivers a powerful combination of precision, adaptability, and user-friendly operation—making it a cornerstone in modern laboratory workflows.
