J-KEM introduces a new line of custom
robotic, the Eclipse workstation. The Eclipse workstation is
easily customized and available with 1 to 5 addressable axes.
Two axis (X,Y) workstations start under $10,000. The Eclipse is
offered either as the robot only, for customers who want to program
their own application, or fully programmed for standard or custom
applications.

A new approach to workstation
design and programming
The distinction of J-KEM's Phoenix Robotic Workstation
is the user friendly design of both its hardware and software. The
Phoenix workstation overcomes the limitations of conventional robotics
by allowing users to rapidly construct new workstation layouts and write
new programs. Both hardware and software are optimized to support
user redesign. |
| Software
- J-KEM's robotic command language uses English style scripts to direct
the actions of the workstation, such as MOVE(X,1000,3) [i.e., move to position
1000 on the X axis at a speed of 3], BALANCE(TARE), etc. The intuitive
meaning of the script commands makes it easy to write or modify a workstation
procedure. Script Interpreter and Command Generator are companion
applications supplied with J-KEM's robotic command language that simplify
writing workstation procedures, even by non-programmers. |

|
|
Hardware
- Strong and versatile, every component of the hardware is open for user
modification. Custom Z-axis modules attach to the workstation with
the features needed for your application: grippers, septum penetrating
needle, disposable tips, or custom modules.

System Accessories:
-
Addressable RS232 (8Cn) or
RS485 serial ports for: temperature control, balances, pumps, bar code

Task Defined Vs. Non-Task Defined WorkstationJ-KEM offers the first non-task
defined workstation for research. Other manufacturers offer workstations
that perform specific tasks such as weighing, synthesis, dissolution, or
solid phase extraction (SPE). The deficiency of these instruments
is that once the workstation is configured for SPE, for example, it can't
be reconfigured for a new application, such as weighing. This fixed
design of the workstation makes it a task defined workstation.
The inflexibility of task defined workstations results in premature obsolescence
when they can 't be reconfigured to perform new tasks required by changing
research needs. |
|
| In contrast,
J-KEM's Phoenix system allows the researcher complete freedom of hardware
layout and software control. A Phoenix workstation configured for
SPE can be reconfigured for weighing and reaction mapping in less than
one day, including software development. The freedom to change the
task performed by the workstation as the need for automation changes is
the distinguishing characteristic of J-KEM's non-task defined Phoenix
workstation. |

How the Phoenix System
Works
The heart of the Phoenix
system is J-KEM's Robotic Controller. The robotic controller interprets
English-style string commands sent from the PC and turns them into workstation
actions. This allows workstation procedures to be written in any
PC programming language. The robotic controller also provides a versatile
interface to commonly needed accessories such as temperature controllers,
balances, pH probes, vortexers, etc.
