HighRes Robot App add remove

Intuitive Control

Enable fast and easy robot control with the HighRes Robot App. Our intuitive, user-friendly robot driver interface empowers users of all levels, from lab technicians to automation engineers. Quickly teach robots, set custom behaviors, and utilize advanced error recovery features. Control your robot remotely, even while moving around your system or lab, by accessing the Robot App from your phone or tablet. 

Robotic Vision add remove

Unlock Insights

Embedded gripper cameras, available for ACell and ZCell arms, improve efficiency and reduce system downtime. HighRes Vision enables auto-teaching and smart point updates during system setup or active workflows. Recover your system remotely and re-teach points without needing to be physically present. HighRes Vision intelligently adjusts to your lab lighting environment, ensuring seamless operation even in changing conditions.

Features

SAMPLE MOVEMENT
Peak Efficiency

ACell and ZCell collaborative robotic arms adeptly and swiftly move samples around the automated workflow, even when operators are present. Operators are protected from harm while samples are protected from risk of manual manipulation variabilities.

TIME-SAVING FLEXIBILITY
MicroDock Compatibility

Add a MicroDock to elevate mobile flexibility and modularity to any automated workflow. This unique docking station allows almost instant device swapping without having to reteach positions or connect utilities. 

icon-blue-67
SAFETY FIRST
Auto Shut Down

Upon impact, the collaborative robotic arm shuts down to eliminate the need for safety shielding. This enables full accessibility while minimizing the overall automated system footprint.

FAQs

How often must a robotic arm be taught? add remove

The robotic arm is taught all device interaction locations in the work cell upon setup and does not need to be taught unless there is a crash or the system and/or devices are put into a new configuration. 

Can robotic arms be positioned manually? add remove

Yes! The robotic arms may be unlocked for manual positioning and parking. 

Can we use regular microplates to teach arms? add remove

No. Points will not be accurate when teaching an arm with a regular plate. HighRes offers a specially designed “golden plate” to teach the ACell and ZCell robotic arms.
