A safe, flexible solution for a wide range of applications and use cases

MACHINE TENDING
Eva automates the start and end of line loading and unloading of machines such as CNC machines, CMMs, metal presses and chemical etching machines.
Machine tending Case Study: Qualitetch
Qualitetch is a UK-based manufacturer of specialised metal components for products ranging from satellites to hairdryers. Their implementation of Eva uses a four cup vacuum gripper to safely and accurately pick up metal sheets and place them on a conveyor belt. Watch the video to hear how their story of working with Eva, and get some ideas about automating your own production line.

PRODUCT TESTING
Eva is the ideal solution for the efficient, highly repeatable automation of end-of-line, ad-hoc and R&D testing processes.
Product testing Case Study: IDEX Biometrics
IDEX Biometrics is a leading provider of fingerprint identification technologies offering simple, secure and personal touch-free authentication for all. Their technology helps people make payments, prove their identity, gain access to information, unlock devices or gain admittance to buildings.
IDEX must ensure their cards and card readers pass rigorous compliance testing. They deployed Eva to fully automate their simulation and regression testing processes to ensure they are highly repeatable, highly accurate and can cover a broad range of speeds, angles, and impairments such as Parkinsons.

INSPECTION & SORTING
An Eva with an integrated camera for vision can sit alongside your existing lines to provide a simple solution for inspection and lightweight picking and sorting.
Inspection & sorting Conveyor belt and smart camera integration
In this application, the conveyor belt acts as a PLC. When a product is detected by the light gate, the conveyor belt stops, allowing one Eva to take a photo of the top of the can using a Cognex smart camera. Based on whether or not the logo on the can has been defaced, the second Eva then picks up the can and places it into the correct pass/fail lane, resuming the movement of the conveyor belt.

LAB AUTOMATION
Lab Assistant provides a simple automation solution to enable lab-based teams to work faster and smarter, while removing human error and exposure to biohazards.
Lab automation A simple, flexible automation solution for labs and lab equipment manufacturers
Common lab-based applications for Eva include machine/instrument tending, sample handling, liquid handling and barcode scanning. In this video Eva automates the handling of microplates inside a cabinet. Given its light weight and small footprint, Eva can be deployed in a variety of environments including biosafety cabinets, workbenches or on a mobile trolley.
