The embodiments include a plant for the preparation of drugs. A casing defining at least one storage chamber in communication with at least one preparation chamber by a passage opening is provided. A compartment in the storage chamber is configured to receive a plurality of base components suitable for containing substances for the preparation of drugs. A manipulator is housed in the preparation chamber and configured to define a loading condition. The manipulator takes at least one base component from the compartment and positions it in the preparation chamber. The manipulator is configured to combine substances contained in the base components brought into the preparation chamber to form at least one finished product containing a drug. The plant includes a control unit configured to command the rotation of the component, the loading position to the manipulator, and the working condition to the manipulator for the preparation of the finished product.

A calibration system is of a wafer processing system. The calibration system includes a calibration substrate configured to be disposed on a plurality of support structures of the wafer processing system. The calibration substrate includes a calibration pin. The calibration substrate enables a calibration operation of a robot arm of the wafer processing system to automatically determine robot arm error of the robot arm.

The arrangement for contamination-free introduction of a sterile object from a vessel, closed by means of a semipermeable cover, into a working chamber, surrounded by a wall, of a containment comprising a portal unit having an access flange arranged in the wall and forming a passage into the working chamber, and a door which sealingly closes the passage and which, in order to be opened, can be moved into the working chamber. The arrangement comprises a vessel receptacle having a repository for holding a vessel, an opening for introducing the vessel into the repository, and a flange for interacting with the access flange. A decontamination unit designed to, when the door is closed, the vessel receptacle is docked to the access flange and the vessel is stored in the vessel receptacle, decontaminate an outer surface of the cover. Based on this arrangement, a method for introduction is also disclosed.

A robot calibration system includes a calibration fixture configured to be mounted on a substrate processing chamber. The calibration fixture includes at least one camera arranged to capture an image including an outer edge of a test substrate and an edge ring surrounding the test substrate. A controller is configured to receive the captured image, analyze the captured image to measure a distance between the outer edge of the test substrate and the edge ring, calculate a center of the test substrate based on the measured distance, and calibrate a robot configured to transfer substrate to and from the substrate processing chamber based on the calculated center of the test substrate.

The present invention provides a prefabricated automated unmanned and gloveless cleanroom processing enclosure (10) for use, in particular but not exclusively, in the pharmaceutical and semiconductor manufacturing sectors, the enclosure defining an interior zone (24) housing at least one automated product processing module (26) and at least one remotely haptically controllable robot (34) operable within the interior zone (24) to effect interventional actions.

An apparatus for use with an isolator, including a crown for releasably joining with a beta port of the isolator, wherein the crown includes at least one anchoring support; a spring hook on at least one end of the at least one anchoring support; a needle block including at least one through hole for having a needle positioned therein, wherein the at least one needle is joined with tubing; a yoke; and a biasing element releasably joined with the yoke and the at least one anchoring support; wherein the needle block is releasably joined to the crown.

Systems and methods permit gloveless filling containers with a product. A filling arm is disposed within the chamber. An optical sensor is configured to locate and target openings of the containers within the chamber. Locations of the openings are used to guide the filling arm to fill the containers with a product.

A robot system includes a robot that includes a motor, a first storage unit that is provided to correspond to the motor and stores identification information of the motor, a second storage unit that is provided separately from the first storage unit and stores the identification information of the motor, and a control unit that detects whether or not the motor attached to the robot is a motor to which the identification information has been assigned in advance, by comparing the identification information of the motor stored in the first storage unit and the identification information of the motor stored in the second storage unit.

A machine (1) for pharmaceutical or biotechnological processes, comprising a structure (10) which delimits the chamber (100) with a horizontal section (A) that is constant or decreasing, movement means, for moving materials and/or instruments in an operating space (100a) and ventilation means (2) with a treatment unit (221), an injection mouth (21a, 21b) and an extraction mouth (25a, 25b). The first wall (13) comprises a first part (131), a second part (132) distanced from the first part (131) and an inclined part (133) with respect to a horizontal plane (H) which extends respectively superiorly and inferiorly thereto and which is contiguous with the first part (131) and with the second part (132) to confine the chamber (100). The operating space (100a) extends, at least partly, above the inclined part (133) and/or in a volume arranged superiorly of the first part (131) and in front of the inclined part (133).

A clean room single-axis robot in which a dust collection system is used includes a transfer unit installed inside a clean room to transfer an assembly part in the forward/backward direction and an elevating unit installed on one side of the transfer unit to transfer an assembly part in the upward/downward direction. The transfer unit includes a horizontal profile, first covers, a first guide unit, a driving belt, a plurality of rollers, and a forward/backward movement unit. A dust collection system of the transfer unit has an open structure, and is configured to suction the air accommodated inside the horizontal profile, collect dust contained in the air, and then discharge the air.
