FoskorScope of supply: A fully automated

R o b o p r e p ~ laboratory that was designedto function largely unmanned 24 hours aday. Samples are aulomaticaUy taken fromup to 12 slurry streams and are filtered anddried automatically. In a robot circle thesamples are automatically presented to aparticle size analyzer and then to a mill.The samples are then pressed into steelrings for XRF analysis. Software controlsthe complete process
