The computer 100 receives information from the device 1. Device 1 comprises a circuit board 60 that receives input from the read means 46, the weighing means 6 and P sensors or encoders indicating the actual linear position of the syringe manipulator 40 on path P and R sensors or encoders indicating the actual rotational position of the syringe manipulator 40 with respect to axis R.
Based on the input and the information received the computer 100 controls movement of the syringe manipulator 40 by controlling the following motors of the device 1.
Drive or first motor 50 drives the movement of the syringe manipulator 40 on path P. The control system can move the syringe manipulator 40 to any of the positions 11 or 22 and to and from the syringe storage 34.
When the syringe manipulator 40 is near the syringe storage 34, a second motor 54 drives the syringe storage 34 in direction S. The control system can thus move any of the syringes 30 in front of the syringe manipulator 40.
To grab a selected syringe 30, a third motor 51 drives the first clamping means 41 and a fourth motor 52 drives the second clamping means 42.
Next the control system can move the syringe manipulator 40 with the syringe 30 to any of the positions 22 by driving motor 50.
A fifth motor 53 drives the rotational movement of the second housing part 44 of the syringe manipulator 40 around axis R to position the syringe 30 under a selected one of the positions 22.
A sixth motor 55 drives movement of the second housing part 44 in direction L, thereby shortening distance L1 sufficiently for the needle of the syringe to contact the liquid in the source container 20 present at the selected position 22.
A motor 56 drives only the second housing part element 44B in direction L to vary the distance L2 for withdrawal of a predetermined amount of liquid from the source container 20.
Then the sixth motor 55 drives movement of the second housing part 44 in direction
L, thereby enlarging distance L1 sufficiently for the syringe manipulator 40 to move away from the selected position 22 to a selected position 11 of a product container 10. The control system will drive motors 50 and/or 53 to position the syringe 30 under a selected one of the positions 11.
Again the sixth motor 55 drives movement of the second housing part 44 in direction L, thereby shortening distance L1 sufficiently for the needle of the syringe to enter the product container 10 present at the selected position 11.
Finally the motor 56 drives only the second housing part element 44B in direction L to 5 vary the distance L2 for delivery of the predetermined amount of liquid to the product container 10.
A person skilled in the art will understand that the control system can control all motors 50 through 56 in random order to automatically fill product containers 10 with any combination of liquids held in source containers 20.
Optionally for each finished product container 10 an identification label can be printed by printer 103.
The invention is of course not limited to the described and shown preferred embodiment, but extends to any embodiment falling within the scope of protection as defined in the claims and as seen in the light of the foregoing description and accompanying drawings.
