As parts and processes shrink to the micron or nanometer level, solutions must become more complex and accurate. Precision is critical. Fortunately, automation makes these applications not just possible but also successful and practical. The benefits of nano and micro parts manufacturing automation include:

• Improved precision and accuracy
• Improved flexibility, as robotics can be reprogrammed to run different parts
• Previously impossible automated processes with advances in vision guidance
• Saved space, with more compact footprints compared to older solutions
• Faster cycle rates than previously thought possible

From drug testing and DNA testing to vaccine development, fluid dispensing on the micro and nano scale needs innovative solutions. Automated fluidic dispensing is a growing area in small parts automation. Medical and life sciences companies adopt advanced robotics and vision to process parts quickly and efficiently without any employee contact, reducing contamination and error risk.

More extensive processes that include micro or nano part handling and dispensing are also becoming more common. Automation in those small areas can improve the larger process. JR Automation can integrate solutions in large, small, and very small applications.
