VIAL IMAGING SYSTEM
A benchtop vial imaging system requiring minimal user interaction
The Vial Imaging System is a benchtop robot that is designed to minimise user interaction to allow scientists to complete other tasks whilst the system is running. The system uses an XYZ gantry with a pneumatic gripper to move samples from their storage racks to an imaging module.
The imaging module uses a line scan camera to image the inside edge of the vial as it rotates, this image is then stitched together to generate a singular image of the entire vial. This image is then saved with a reference to the barcode on the rack and its position in the rack.
