Eagle Technologies Group has been working in the medical device field for many years with projects ranging from simple conveyor projects to fully automated contact lens molding and packaging lines. Although our full array of custom automation and integration capabilities are available for any project, the optical laboratory automation area has typically used a small subset of our overall capabilities.

Lab Automation – Conveyors: Eagle Technologies does not manufacture conveyor components. We integrate conveyor depending on the specific needs of the application. For optical labs this typically means either Flexlink XH series or Bosch Varioflow. Eagle Technologies has installed many thousands of feet of both of these conveyors.

Lab Tray Specific devices: To augment the conveyor offerings of Bosch & Flexlink, Eagle has developed an array of devices specific to the stopping and routing of trays on the conveyor. These include:

BLADDER STOP
	Stainless steel with integrated guide rail mounting for seamless transitions. Used for all normal traffic control of trays.
DIVERTER
	Clean white Delryn diverters and internal curve guides for smooth transfers of trays from one conveyor to another.
SPUR FEEDER
	Clean flat belt powered conveyors to transition trays from the main conveyor to the individual process machines. Variable Speed drives and adjustable side guides included standard.
GRAVITY CONVEYOR
	For areas where automation is too much. Simple clean design for ultra-low friction roller conveyors with integral side guides ideally suited to lab tray buffering. (Note older technology blue frame behind)
STACKED TRAYS
	This example accepts stacks of up to 10 trays from the manual tray-up area and singulates them onto the conveyor. Tray stacking, de-stacking, and stacking buffers are available. Single and Double stacked trays are handled with ease using this robust, yet cost effective design. Available with or without integrated controls.
VERTICAL TRANSFER BUFFERS
	This FIFO version shown accepts trays at the bottom, and buffers them during the vertical transfer to the elevated exit conveyor. Ideal where floor space is tight, these robust and cost effective transfers are available as buffers or simple vertical transfers. Available with or without integrated controls.
