A common challenge across projects in diagnostics and life sciences is the requirement for motion and motion control for liquid handling, imaging, optics, focusing, and positioning. Through Dover Motion, a division of Invetech since 2014, we have a portfolio of motion solutions and modules, as well as 50 years of experience developing custom motion solutions to meet the specific requirements of our clients’ instruments.
When developing new instrument platforms, the combined capabilities of Dover Motion and Invetech delivers a substantial benefit in terms of design solution maturity, cost of goods advantages, and accelerated time to market. We ensure the successful integration of subsystems and test solutions under real-world conditions of the intended product environment to ensure reliable motion implementation.
Moving materials within a product, whether a door, an opening, clamping in place, piercing, consumable handling etc. all typically involve robots of some description. Systems that achieve these motions may be implemented by a simple, single-axis such as a belt and rail or a more complex synthesis of many axes such as a linear motor XYZ stage depending on the system requirements.
Invetech has wide experience in axis design for internal transport systems. We have modular single and multi-axis designs that can be leveraged for typical applications, or we can engineer a full mechatronic system that meets more unique performance and budget needs.
Our solutions aren’t limited to any specific implementation, we have utilized components such as cams, gears, rails, belts, flexures, slides, bushings, stepper motors, linear motors, piezos and more to achieve any motion need.
