Essential Overview
Enabling Collaboration
The ACell 512 robotic arm is ideal for moving samples through most automated workflows, with a vertical reach of 1240mm and a horizontal reach of 576mm.
Far Reaching
The ACell 712 robotic arm takes automated sample movement and workflow efficiencies further, with a vertical reach of 1240mm and a horizontal reach of 731mm.
Rugged Applications
The ZCell robotic arm unlocks extra potential reserved for rugged sample movement and workflow applications with high device density, wide service areas, and large payload capacities.
Specialized Robotic Arm Needs
Looking for something specific from your robotic arm performance? We also supply robotic arms from Denso and other third-party specialty providers. Inquire below.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Robotic Arm Mount Options
Unite your robotic arm with a FlexCart or cart for high device density and mobility, or to a compact and stationary central pod base or a FlexPod for agility. Use an automated rail base platform for complex, multi-step workflows or to unite multiple automated work cells.

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